Description

During cupping therapy the cups are placed over several areas to create a vacuum which lifts the soft tissue and creates an upward stretch within the muscle and associated fascia. This vacuum lift helps to increase in blood flow and induces a stretch effect, which results in a reduction in muscle tension and associated pain. The application of cups can be used to treat a variety of conditions such as: muscle pain and tension, Reduced joint movement, headaches, Back pain and sciatica, stress and anxiety.
