Cupping Therapy Is Fantastic At Decompressing Soft Tissue
This technique will help alleviate tension, stress, and discomfort when the skin and tissues lift. This allows better blood and oxygen flow to the affected areas and provides fast relief.
What Is Cupping Therapy?
It involves placing cups on the skin to create decompression to the target tissues, which helps promote circulation, reduce muscle tension, and alleviate pain. This technique is commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine and has gained popularity in recent years as an alternative therapy for conditions like back pain, migraines, and respiratory problems.
Cupping Increases Blood Circulation to the Area Where the Cups Are Placed
This may relieve muscle tension, which can improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair. It may also help form new connective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue.
While the Marks That Sometimes Follow Cupping May Appear Painful,
the treatment is actually quite enjoyable and relaxing. Like other massage modalities, cupping soothes the nervous system, creating a parasympathetic “rest and digest” response. Inducing deep relaxation makes for a more effective, gentle and comfortable spinal adjustment. Cupping also quickly relaxes muscles and connective tissue when applied in between vertebrae. These tiny tissues are not always easily accessible by traditional massage therapy techniques making cupping a great addition to any treatment.
