It is a form of therapy that involves placing silicone cups on the skin to create a suction. This technique helps to improve blood flow, reduce pain and inflammation, and promote relaxation and well-being.

The suction created by the cups lifts the skin and underlying tissue. This provides better circulation and oxygenated blood flow which aids in the healing and repair process.

Cupping is generally not painful, but some may experience discomfort due to the suction. If that happens its very important to let the therapist know. The suction can be adjusted.

If cups are left on the skin stationary you me get circular marks on the skin. These are not bruises, it is the stagnent blood that is brought to the surface so the lymphatic system can flush out the metabolic waste and toxins.

These marks usually fade within a few days- weeks depending on your lifestyle.

Cupping can help relieve muscle pain and tension, reduce inflammation, improve circulation, enhance lymphatic drainage, and promote relaxation.
