​Cupping is a type of alternative therapy that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. It increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed or are used. This may relieve muscle tension, which can improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair. It may also help form new connective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue. Common areas for cupping are shoulders, chest, back, hips, legs, and feet. Cupping can be done on the face to help with sinuses. 

​   Benefits: 

• Increasing range of motion (ROM).
• Decreasing muscle tension and knots.
• Reducing scar tissue.
• Promoting the skin’s blood flow.
• Changing the skin’s biomechanical properties.
• Increasing pain thresholds.
• Improving local anaerobic (without oxygen) Metabolism.
• Reducing inflammation.
• Boosting cellular immunity.

Cupping is very good at diving deeper into the layers of the body, not just superficial layers. It can help reduce adhesions (aka knots) that may have been brought on due to an injury, trauma of the soft tissue, or just overall stress. Some techniques I use include stagnate, gliding, and passive and active ROM. I incorporate it with orthopedic work as well. Over the years, I have seen a huge difference when incorporating cupping into the sessions.

​I have experienced feedback from clients that their range of motion (ROM) has improved greatly. It also helped some with chronic stress on joints and decreased discomfort from nerve pain and muscle soreness. Improved chest constriction to be able to breath better. Lesson Plantar Fasciitis, reduced/prevented scar tissue, releases tension in the muscle bellies, and help overall longevity. ​​

I understand cupping may not be for everyone, so if you have any questions about it we can always try it out and if you don't like it we can discontinue the use of cupping. Cupping increases circulation so if you're on blood thinners, you may need to ask your doctor if cupping is okay for you.
