CUPPING THERAPY

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of Chinese alternative medicine which involves placing cups on the skin. When placed on the skin, these cups create a vacuum which helps improve blood flow, aids in the excretion of toxins in the blood and muscles and achieves greater tissue oxygenation in the treated area.
