What is Cupping Therapy?

Cupping therapy is an ancient technique rooted in traditional Chinese medicine. It involves placing cups, often made of glass or bamboo, on the skin’s surface to create suction. This suction stimulates blood flow, relieves tension, and encourages natural healing. During a session, we keep the cups stationary on the skin for approximately 5-10 minutes, allowing the therapeutic benefits of cupping to take effect.
