Cupping is sometimes referred to as a ‘reverse massage’ because of the unique way in which the cups lift the muscles of the body upwards instead of the muscles being pushed down. In addition to releasing muscular tension, cupping also releases and relaxes the fascial layer. We use traditional glass cups to perform both running and stationary cupping. We use this technique in the clinic on a daily basis as a complement to our acupuncture treatments. When used correctly, cupping can dramatically reduce the healing time for injuries and is also excellent in the treatment of chronic pain, stress and respiratory issues.
We use artisan, handblown glass cups and all-organic, locally-produced body oils for cupping.
