Cupping Therapy

Like most Chinese healing techniques, cupping, or suction therapy, dates back thousand of years. While most manual therapies use downward pressure to alleviate muscle adhesions, cupping uses suction to pull tissues up. Cupping can be a stand-alone treatment or easily integrated with adjustments, ART and more.

WHY WE USE IT?

  • Stimulates blood flow.

  • Loosen muscles.

  • Relieves pain.

  • Increases flexibility/range of motion.

  • Reduces stress.
