$80.00/session An ancient and effective treatment that’s been used for many common conditions such as stress, muscle pain/injury, shoulder and back tension, carpal tunnel syndrome, joint disorders, sinus and respiratory congestion and even acid reflux. Cupping sessions can also help support athletic performance, prenatal care and reduce inflammation that causes pain and discomfort.
Cupping is an ancient healing practice that uses small glass or plastic cups as suction devices that are placed on the skin to break up and release stagnation and congestion by drawing congested blood, energy or other stagnant debris to the surface to be released through the skin.
The suction in the cups causes the skin and superficial muscle layer to be lightly drawn into the cup. Cupping is much like the inverse of massage – rather than applying pressure to muscles, it uses gentle pressure to pull them upward. For most patients, this is a particularly relaxing and relieving experience. Once suctioned, the cups are generally left in place for about ten minutes while the patient relaxes. After the cups are removed, you’ll enjoy a delicious hot oil massage on the treated areas to help keep you relaxed and vibin’ high all day!
The old Chinese medical maxim holds that pain results from the congestion, stagnation, and blockage of Qi (pronounced “chee”), or vital energy, vital fluids, lymph, phlegm, and blood. Chinese cupping is a method of breaking up the blockage to restore the body’s natural flow of energy. Where there’s stagnation, there will be pain. Remove the stagnation, and you remove the pain.
