Chinese Cupping

Cupping therapy is a therapy that was traditionally used in Eastern Medicine by applying fire to create heat in glass cups, the heat would create suction as it cools on the skin. Today it is widely used in multiple therapies across the world using either plastic or silicone cups to create suction. 

In eastern medicine the cups would be applied on acupuncture points to help with energy flow. In other modern practices, cups are used for myofascial decompression. This helps separate layers of tissues which helps increase blood flow. This increased blow flow helps stimulate healing.

Cupping can help alleviate pain and is often used in conjunction with FST for many common issues such as:

• Back pain
• Headache or migraine
• Knee pain
• Muscle pain and soreness
• Neck and shoulder pain
• Sports injuries and performance
• Bronchial congestion due to the cold or asthma
