Dry Cupping is an ancient Chinese technique that has become a popular treatment for musculoskeletal problems. Utilized as part of massage therapy and acupuncture treatments, cupping is effective in treating a variety of conditions. A negative pressure vacuum suction is created to increase circulation, move deep inflammation, decrease myofascial adhesions and release connective tissue restrictions. Cupping works by oxygenating soft tissues and allowing lymphatic flow to release toxins held in your muscles. Cupping can assist in restoring movement by releasing soft tissue restrictions and normalizing tissue health, helping to reduce pain and improve posture.
Your safety and wellbeing are paramount for our treatment applications. Some health conditions are contraindicated, meaning that cupping should not be used as a treatment. Some of these include deep vein thrombosis, open wounds, bone fractures and any inflamed skin areas or lymph nodes. Those with cancer, organ failure, hemophelia and any blood disorders are also not indicated for cupping. Individuals undergoing anticoagulant treatment or those with any implanted medical devices should not receive this therapy. It is always recommended you seek the advice of your primary healthcare provider and ask questions before receiving any type of therapy.
