Cupping therapy is a gentle and non-invasive treatment. It’s one of the best “physiotherapy” methods commonly used by traditional Chinese medicine and consists of creating a local suction on the skin using either heat or mechanical devices. Two or three cups are placed on the acupuncture points and may be gently moved from place to place on your skin for a massage-like effect or along meridian based on patient’s condition. By stimulating acupuncture meridian points, cupping can stimulate muscles and blood circulation, relieve swelling, relieve pain, and balance the energy of yin and yang in your body. At Modern TCM Clinic we are committed to providing a welcoming and relaxing environment during this treatment.
The benefits of cupping include local pain relief and muscle relaxation. Cupping improves overall health by removing the energy blockages that are barriers to the flow of healthy energy or Qi and therefore, may help increase blood flow to a particular muscle region or help reduce pain. Cupping therapy is a safe and effective treatment option for a wide range of conditions.
Be careful if you have inflamed skin, are prone to high fevers or convulsions, bleed easily, or are pregnant – cupping may not be for you.
Facial cupping is effective and can treat both clinical and cosmetic goals.
