Cupping

A therapeutic technique designed to improve tissue mobility and support circulation.

Cupping uses specialized cups to create gentle suction on the skin and underlying soft tissues.  The lifting action can help reduce areas of muscular tension, improve tissue mobility and bring increased circulation to targeted areas.

Cupping may help you:

• Loosen tight, achy muscles
• Reduce that "knotted up" feeling 
• Improve flexibility and range of motion
• Increase circulation to an area that feels tight or sluggish
• Release stubborn areas of tension 
• Help your body feel more relaxed. and mobile 

Cupping can be incorporated into therapeutic bodywork to address areas of tightness, restricted movement, and musclular discomfort.  I may combine cupping with other techniques depending on your individual needs.  

You may notice:

Cupping can leave temporary circular marks or discoloration on the skin.  These marks are a normal response to the suction and typically fade within several days. 

Cupping is not appropriate for everone, so treatment is individualized based on your needs and health history.
