Cupping Therapy

What is Cupping Therapy?

This remarkabletherapy employs negative pressure, rather than tissue compression, for superior results in the wide array of bodywork techniques. Suction cup therapy is a traditional treatment that remains favoured by millions of people worldwide because it\\'s safe, comfortable and remarkably effective for many health disorders

The value and efficacy of this therapy has been documented through several thousand years of historical, clinical and subjective research.

How Does It Work?

Cupping pulls stagnation out of the tissues and brings it to the skin level. The pores expand discharging some of these wastes and toxins, the rest is the more accessible to the body\\'s circulatory and lymphatic systems where it can be properly flushed out.

In addition, cupping brings fresh revitalized blood to stagnant areas. By creating negative pressure above the surface of the tissues the decrease in atmospheric pressure above the surface of the tissues, the decrease in pressure allows the tissues below to be lifted upwards increasing the space for the underlying structures.

Effects on the skin:

Blood circulation
Skin temperature
Metabolism within the skin tissues
Fuctioning of sweat and sebaccous glands
Cutaneous respiration
Nutrition supply to the tissues
 

Effects on the muscles:

Stimulation of the subcutaneous capillary vessels
Increases blood flow
Removes congestion in the joints
Facilitates the excretion of lactic acids
