Cupping applies suction to the surface of the body to draw out pathogenic factors or to invigorate the flow of Qi at the surface of the body. Sometimes a lubricant is applied to the skin prior to placing the cups; this allows the cups to be slid back and forth, incorporating friction therapy (gua sha). Cups are UV sterilized after every use.
Effective in treating: early stage colds and flu, trauma, and muscle pain (especially in the back and shoulders).
Cupping leaves circular marks on the skin which can vary in color and intensity - faint to dark, red to purple. The marks are painless but can resemble bruising. These should fade within a day or two.
May be used in conjunction with any of the other modalities we offer.
