Cupping Therapy

Cupping Therapy is another modality of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is an ancient healing art using cups to create suction pressure on the skin.

The suction pressure creates a number of changes in the area to promote healing:

• It draws more blood to the area and therefore more nutrients
• Draws up the skin, underlying connective tissue and muscles creating movement & space between the tissue layers & increased blood flow
• Promotes lymphatic circulation to remove toxins which lie inbetween tissues and cells from cellular activities
• Opens the meridian channels in the body (energy pathways)

Cupping is safe to use on people of all ages from children to elderly. Cup placement is according to the principles of TCM using meridian lines and acupuncture points to promote wellbeing.
