What is Cupping? Cupping is one of civilization's oldest and most globally recognized treatments for relieving pain and inflammation while also increasing mobility. Traditional Chinese medicine utilizes cupping techniques to relieve stagnation, restoring the flow of Qi, or energy that moves throughout and around our beings.

Cupping incorporates decompression by pulling skin, tissues and muscle upwards into a vacuum cup. The space created by the suction increases circulation and allows fresh, oxygenated blood to rush into the area while stagnant waste matter and toxins are transported out, effectively restoring balance.
