Cupping Therapy
Developed thousands of years ago, cupping can be used as an alternative therapy to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow and relaxation!
Cupping has an ability to affect deeper tissues, remove fascial restrictions and increase the range of motion.
On its own, or combined with massage, it provides a unique sensation through suction. A gentle pressure lifts and pulls skin, tissue, and muscles upward.
Side Ef fect to Cupping
Clients may be left with a circular ecchymosis (blood between the skin layers caused by seepage of blood from the vessels).
-
The cupping mark is not a bruise or contusion
-
Cupping marks are thought to be caused by the release of dead static blood, lymph, cellular debris, pathogens and toxins to the surface of the skin
-
Cupping marks are not painful and range in intensity from no mark at all to dark purple
-
Marks will last from 1-8 days
-
Occasionally cupping will produce blisters, these can be due to superficial dampness (edema), pathological conditions or in some instances from leaving the cup on too long (more than 20 min)
