Cupping Therapy

Cupping is an ancient form of alternative therapy that involves placing specialized cups on the skin to create a vacuum and negative pressure instead of tissue compression.  Cupping is also a form of lymphatic drainage  and encourages the movement of lymph fluids throughout the body. This lymphatic fluid helps remove waste and toxins from the bodily tissues. Cupping is also believed to aid with the flow of “qi” in the body. Qi is a Chinese word meaning "life force."  Cupping helps balance yin and yang, or the positive and negative within the body.  Restoring balance between these two extremes is believed to assist with the body’s resistance to pathogens and also reduces pain.  Cupping therapy releases myofascial tissues, drains excess fluids and toxins, loosen adhesions, promotes cell repair, lifts connective tissue and increases blood flow to the stagnant areas in the body.  Cuppping can be done over the entire body and offers many benefit to the body's systems.
