Cupping Therapy

Cupping is a massage modality that is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The technique involves the use of silicone or glass cups to create a vacuum seal on local areas of the body. The suction of the cups on the skin increases blood flow to injured soft tissues and helps to improve the healing process. 

Cupping can help with a wide variety of muscle and joint disorders, such as repetitive stress injuries, muscle adhesions and trigger points, as well as in injuries where muscles attach to bones. Cups can be used around the neck, back, arms and legs, depending on the source of pain and dysfunction. Patients often report improved mobility and decreased tension in injured tissues after cupping therapy. 

Cupping is an excellent therapy that is often used in combination with other massage techniques or acupuncture. This service is provided by our Acupuncturist and Massage Therapists.
