Cupping Therapy is an ancient form of alternative treatment in which we use a unique set of cups on your for a few minutes to create suction. People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation, and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.
Cupping has been used to treat a wide variety of conditions. It may be particularly effective at easing conditions that create muscle aches and pains.
Since the cups can also be applied to major acupressure points, the practice can possibly be effective at treating digestive issues, skin issues, and other conditions commonly treated with acupressure.
