About cupping

 uses the gentle pressure of suction to pull tissue muscles upward, suction is achieved by  manual suction pump on special cups that are placed on the skin. The suction in the cups causes the skin and superficial muscle layer to be lightly drawn into the cup, this is a particularly relaxing and relieving sensation (although it can leave “hickey” marks that look like bruising, so let us know if you need to have unblemished skin, cups are generally left in place for about ten minutes while you relax.  The suction and negative pressure provided by cupping can loosen muscles, encourage blood flow, and calm the nervous system. Cupping is used to relieve back and neck pains, stiff or fatigued muscles, anxiety, and headaches.
