Cupping Therapy
The suction and negative pressure provided by cupping can loosen muscles, encourage blood flow, and sedate the nervous system. Cupping is used to relieve muscle tension, neck and back pain, stiff muscles, anxiety, fatigue, migraines, and more.
Cupping Therapy has been all over the news and viral across web. People are trying to figure out exactly what are the round, purple circles (cupping marks) they are seeing on USA Olympic athletes, like Michael Phelps. These silicon or fiberglass cups are applied directly to the skin, creating a suction effect to bring blood flow to the surface and promote healing and pain relief.
