Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine
Cupping Therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine during which the Physiotherapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. Cupping therapy works like the inverse of a deep-tissue mobilization. Rather than kneading down into the muscles, we use suction to pull the fascia and tissues up into the cup and manipulate them. The suction and negative pressure provided by cupping can loosen muscles, encourage blood flow, reduces pain & inflammation, promotes relaxation & well-being and sedate the nervous system. Cupping therapy is used to relieve back, neck & other joint pains, stiff muscles, flu or cold, anxiety, fatigue, migraine, rheumatism & even cellulite.
