Cupping Therapy
Cupping Therapy a gentle vacuum is formed inside glass 'cups', which are subsequently placed on the skin to provide moderate suction,. The vacuum outcome of the cups creates suction that softens tissues and increases the flow of blood and fluids. By exciting the skin and underlying muscles, it helps free area-specific toxins that have accumulated and encourages circulation of both blood and lymph vessels.
Cupping can be done on the neck, shoulders, back, sacral area, hip, abdomen, thigh, upper arms, calves, and in some cases even the forehead or the soles of the feet, depending on the condition. The feeling of cupping is often characterized as extremely warm and relaxing. Many people find it greatly relaxing. It releases stiff soft tissue and inflexible knots. Contracted, tense and painful muscle tissue will make softer quickly with just a few minutes of cupping. Cupping Therapy has been used for historically not only in China, but also the Middle East, Greece and Russia.
