Cupping Therapy is an ancient alternative therapy in which a therapist applies suction to your skin for a few minutes using specific cups. Cupping increases blood flow to the areas where the cups are placed. This has the potential to reduce muscular tension while also improving overall blood circulation and promoting cell healing. It also might aid in the formation of new ligament tissues and blood vessels in the body.
In a modern variation, a rubber pump, rather than fire, is used to create the vacuum within the cup. Cupping Physiotherapists may use silicone cups that they slide around on their clients' skin to provide a massage-like sensation.
