What is it?
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative Chinese medicine in which a therapist puts a special cup on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. The treatment is used to increase blood flow to the area to help reduce muscle tension and pain, inflammation, blood flow and relaxation.
This ancient alternative therapy is also good for increasing lymphatic output which helps improve immune system, stretch muscles and connective tissues that can sometimes cause us a great deal of discomfort and optimize athletic performance. Slide cupping can also help reduce the appearance of cellulite and increase elasticity of skin!
It is a great add on to a deep tissue massage. Cupping can leave marks on the skin but the results are amazing!
There are a few contraindications for cupping, so there will be a thorough intake to see if the therapy is right for you.
