WHAT IS CUPPING THERAPY?
Cupping Therapy is a form of massage therapy which decompresses soft tissues using vacuum suction, unlike other forms of massage that compresses soft tissues. During cupping, the cup gently sucks to your skin and lifts underlying soft tissue into the cup.
HOW DOES CUPPING THERAPY FEEL?
Cupping is very relaxing and generally not painful. The sensation that is experienced is a pulling of the skin as the cup is moved in a rolling fashion. Redness or a feeling of warmth is usually experienced after the release of the cup due to increase blood flow to the area.
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM CUPPING THERAPY?
Almost anyone can benefit from cupping. It is used to treat lack of mobility, tight muscles, scars and many diagnoses like headaches, tendinitis, bursitis, plantar fasciitis, fibromyalgia, and release of trigger points.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER CUPPING THERAPY TREATMENT?
Mild soreness is to be expected from the buildup of lactic acid in the muscle tissue, but less soreness than a deep tissue massage. Bruises are to be expected and can last up to a week. Physical exertion and heat are not recommended after the treatment.
WHAT ARE CUPPING THERAPY BENEFITS?
If you have experienced traumas such as strains, sprains, overload, etc., our therapists can help provide non-opioid means of pain relief through cupping therapy.
