CUPPING

Cupping is the practice of placing sterilised glass cups on the skin to create a suction. It is often used in conjunction with acupuncture to clear toxins and improve circulation in areas where there has been a blockage or stagnation of blood flow and/or Qi. 

Cupping can also alleviate pain by releasing tight muscles and it is very effective in calming the nervous system. It is commonly used for headache relief, stress and anxiety relief, plus cold and flu relief. It helps promote healing and supports the immune system.

The practitioner uses fire to remove the oxygen from the cup and places it on the skin to create a suction. This gently draws skin up which increases circulation and blood flow to the area. It is a surprisingly relaxing treatment with immediate results.

Our practitioners offer cupping as part of their individualised treatment plan to increase the overall effectiveness of the  treatment and speed up the healing process.
