Cupping

​From the school of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the sibling technique to Gua Sha, the process of cupping pulls blood to a region to stimulate healing and relieve tension. Originally used to dredge toxic blood from the body and to pull snake venom from bites, today it is equally effective at helping to relieve a myriad of ailments.

Cupping Therapy softens tight muscles, tones attachments, loosens adhesions and lifts connective tissue by creating suction and negative pressure.  Intended to address stagnant energy, called chi, in the body that TMC practitioners believe may be responsible for inflammation, the underlying cause of several conditions associated with chronic pain.  Stretching tight fascia and muscles it promotes new blood in the tissue and causes anti-inflammatory chemicals in the body helping to reduce inflammation.

For this cupping is often used to treat ailments that cause chronic pain, such as arthritis and fibromyalgia, as well as those that trigger muscle and joint pain.  It can help to move toxins out, break up scar tissue and relieve  tendonitis.   Feel a cold coming on?
