How Cupping Therapy Works
Cupping therapy uses suction to lift the skin and underlying tissues, creating space for improved blood flow and healing.
Our treatment includes:
• Static Cupping: Cups are placed on specific areas and left for several minutes to release deep muscle tension and improve circulation.
• Dynamic Cupping: Cups are moved across the skin to address larger areas of tension and promote lymphatic drainage.
• Combined Treatment: Cupping is often used alongside manual therapy, exercise, and other modalities for comprehensive care.
We select the cupping technique based on your condition and treatment goals.
