Cupping is a type of natural medicine that has been around for thousands of years, The treatment modality has become more refined in both it's practical application and understanding to how it is able to achieve the desirable results.
Cupping is used for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction by literally cleaning the muscle of the build up of stagnant waste bi-products that build up when a muscle is overworked, The vacuum affect the cupping provides draws the waste filled blood up the skins surface leaving you with what looks like a love bite. By being able to use this treatment approach to specific areas of the body your therapist is able to restore the state of chronically affected muscles, allowing an accelerated recovery from pain and or injury.
Cupping often works best in conjunction with other treatment options like Trigger Point Therapy and Dry Needling.
