Cupping is an additional therapy that works by attaching cups to the skin surface to create a vacuum, which helps to:
· Stimulate the flow of Qi and Blood
· Clear pathogens
· Relax muscles and ease pain.
· Remove stagnation and toxins.
Cupping leaves temporary circular marks on the skin, which are a normal part of the process and usually fade within a few days. The colour of the marks aid in the diagnosis process.
Cupping is commonly used for:
· Common colds, coughs and flu
· Chronic bronchitis and asthma
· Digestive issues
· Improving circulation
· Irregular menstruation and dysmenorrhea
· Muscular pain and tension
· Pain (acute or chronic)
· Sports recovery
· Stress and fatigue
Cupping is an adjunct therapy, and the use of cups would be determined through the Acupuncture or Tui Na consultation and diagnosis process.
Cups are placed on specific acupuncture points or areas of the body to support circulation and release tightness.
There are different types of Cups like plastic suction cups, silicone suction cups and glass fire cups.
Cups are applied using controlled suction (no pain, just a pulling sensation)
Techniques may include static, sliding or flash cupping
Most patients feel relief and deep muscle release during treatment
You’ll rest comfortably until the Cups show signs of doing their job, creating circular marks on the skin.
Price: Addon therapy as part of an Acupuncture or Tui Na therapy session
