Cupping is an ancient form of Traditional Chinese medicine in which special cups are heated and put on the skin to create suction.
It helps to relieve stress, increases blood flow, improves digestion, and stimulates the lymphatic system. Cupping on the back helps to return blood flow and oxygen to problem areas, relieve muscle tension and promote cell repair. Cupping therapy is gaining popularity in the Western world. The heated cups create a vacuum, causing skin to rise and turn red, improving circulation and helping to release tension. Cupping works by bringing old stagnant blood to the surface so that new blood can be produced and supplied to the area.
It very beneficial for anyone dealing with old injuries or anyone just wanting to relax the muscles. We recommended having 2 appointments a week for 4 weeks and then 1 appointment a week after that for maintenance. It is common to have marks left on the skin that resemble a bruise after a cupping session that can last for up to a week, depending on each individual.
The marks left behind is the old stagnant blood that has been brought to the surface and new blood will be replacing it. As time goes on and the area starts to heal and feel better, the marks will become lighter and disappear a lot faster. West Palm Beach, FL Reach out to our office today! Call Today! Book Now.
