Cupping Therapy
Cupping
Cupping is an ancient alternative medicine technique that can be effective for improving blood flow and decreased inflammation in certain areas of the body. This technique involves the use of specialized plastic, glass, or silicone cups to suction the skin upwards, and improve the flow of blood and decrease muscle tension in the area applied. Cupping can be used in a static position, glided over a surface of the body, or paired with mobility activities to maximize benefits.Â
