Benefits of Cupping Therapy
According to traditional Chinese medicine, "Where there's stagnation, there will be pain. Remove the stagnation, and you remove the pain." Cupping therapy is one of the most effective tools for doing exactly that.
How cupping therapy works
Cupping therapy works by using glass cups to create suction on the skin, which lifts fascia, increases local blood flow, drains lymphatic congestion, and releases muscle adhesions — relieving pain and restoring circulation. Cupping is a technique that uses small glass cups placed on the skin as suction devices, helping to break up congestion and stagnation. Chinese medicine believes that pain can be a result of energy blockages, as well as stagnation of fluids, lymph, phlegm, and blood.
Irregular flow in the body can lead to disease, so through cupping we can not only relieve pain but also restore the body's natural flow of energy.
Benefits of cupping therapy for pain, recovery, and circulation
Cupping reduces muscle pain, accelerates athletic recovery, and improves circulation by drawing fresh blood to tight or injured tissue and clearing inflammatory waste through the lymphatic system.
