Cupping

What is cupping

Cupping therapy is an ancient healing practice that has been an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for over 2,000 years. It involves placing special cups on the skin to create a gentle suction, drawing the skin and underlying tissue into the cup. This process stimulates circulation, enhances the flow of Qi, and helps promote overall healing.

How does cupping work?

Cupping therapy works by:


  • Increase blood flow: The vacuum draws blood to the surface of the skin, which promotes circulation and facilitates the body's natural healing process.


  • Release muscle tension: By targeting areas of stiffness or discomfort, cupping helps to relax muscles, ease pain, and improve flexibility.


  • Balance Qi: In TCM, Qi is the vital energy that flows through the body. Cupping helps to restore the proper flow of Qi, which can become blocked or stagnated due to stress, injury, or illness.


  • Detoxify the body: The suction effect helps remove toxins and metabolic waste from the body.

How does it feel?

Most patients find cupping to be a relaxing experience, though you may feel some tightening in the area during the session. Afterward, temporary redness where the cups were placed is common. This is a normal part of the process and should fade within a week.
