Cupping
Cupping is a therapeutic technique that uses suction cups placed on the skin to lift and stretch underlying muscle and fascia, promoting blood flow and releasing tension.
Cupping benefits anyone dealing with muscle tightness, chronic tension, or restricted mobility, particularly in the back, shoulders, and legs. It's commonly used to treat conditions like muscle spasms, myofascial pain, and tension related to overuse or poor posture, as well as to support recovery for athletes.
If you're dealing with stubborn muscle knots or tightness that hasn't responded to other treatments, cupping offers an effective, complementary approach to relief.
Your cupping session begins with an assessment of the areas of tension or restriction you're experiencing. Your clinician will apply suction cups to targeted areas, either leaving them stationary or gliding them across the skin to release tight fascia and improve circulation.
You may notice temporary redness or light circular marks after treatment a normal response as blood flow increases to the area with many patients feeling looser and less tense immediately after their session.
