Cupping is a therapy designed to stimulate the flow of blood and Qi within the superficial muscle layers. In Chinese Medicine, we say that this is a great from of detox.
Some conditions cupping treats are sore muscles, tension, neck and back pain and the common cold.
Small glass cups are placed over specific areas on the body creating a vacuum under the cup by way of heat or suction.
Some people look as though a large octopus gave them a big hug. The slight redness will quickly dissipate leaving no residual marks and a great feeling of the tension released.
