CUPPING

Cupping has been used by many cultures for hundreds of years to ease muscle tension, increase circulation, detoxify, and reduce inflammation, improve pain and range of motion.  The pulling action of the cup engages the parasympathetic nervous system, thus allowing deep relaxation throughout the entire body.  In recent years, it has gained popularity with celebrities and athletes for all the benefits it provides.

The marks left from cupping are not bruises.  They are metabolic waste, toxins, and other stagnant material that have been freed from the underlying tissue and brought to the surface where they can more easily be flushed away. Marks can last anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks and are not tender to the touch.

I usually use glass or ceramic cups that have been sterilized between each use for your safety.  As a Chinese Medicine practitioner, I have received the highest training in standards of care to ensure you get the best results with each session.
