What is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping is a therapy in which a glass jar is used on the surface of the skin applying pressure, and providing a myofascial release. Cupping releases tension and pain, with no negative side effects or dangers when done by a licensed practitioner. This can be used along any area in the body that has pain. It is painless, and even feels similar to massage. The cups are left on for a period of time, or slid across the bodies surface.
COURSE OF TREATMENT
The amount of Cupping treatments will vary person to person. At the beginning of treatment, weekly or biweekly cupping sessions are recommended. Once the issue is under control and minimized, the time between cupping visits can be longer; stretching out to every 2,3, and 4 weeks. Then, maintenance or tune-up cupping visits are highly recommended. Many patients use cupping on a scheduled basis to help prevent diseases.
