Cupping
My patients just love it! π
Cupping involves the application of glass cups on your body using heat suction.
Typically, three types of cupping are available:
1- Sliding cupping involves moving the cups along the oiled-up skin; It feels like a soothing massage, though, instead of pushing into a muscle, cupping gently pulls the muscle back into its relaxed position; Great for Qi & Blood deficiencies and mild stagnation;
2- Standing cupping leaves the cups in a fixed position on specific points to drag out toxins and move strong Qi & Blood Stagnation; this technique may leave cup marks that usually disappear after a few days;
3- Flash cupping is the repeated application and removal of the cup on a specific point within a couple of seconds; that method draws out Cold and soothes associated pain and deficiency
You can book a cupping-only session id you would like to focus strongly on one specific area such as shoulders/ neck, lower back, TFL;
