Cupping is a therapy used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to remove stagnation and stimulate the flow of Qi (chi). Qi is the free flow of vital energy circulating through the body and the world around us, and if it is disrupted or disturbed, it can create blockages or imbalances in the body.
Our therapeutic cupping treatment involves placing cups, usually made of glass, on the skin, where warming the air inside the cup creates a vacuum that draws the tissue upward when applied. This process increases blood flow, loosens the fascia or connective tissue, and is thought to stimulate healing.
