What is Chinese Cupping?

Cupping is an ancient tool used by traditional Chinese medicine doctors in the treatment of specific disorders.

The technique of cupping involves heating the inside of a specially designed glass cup and placing it on the skin of a patient. As the air inside of the cup cools it creates a small suction on the skin allowing the glass to stay on the patient.

Chinese Cupping helps soften long standing muscle tightness where other massage techniques have not been enough. This method can help with treatment of chronic injuries, which respond to treatment, but come back.

Cupping increases blood flow to the effected areas as well as promoting Qi circulation. This enables the cupping method to treat many types of disorders

Cupping often leaves slight bruising on the skin but is not painful.
