Cupping therapy is an ancient healing practice that has gained popularity in recent years. It involves placing cups on the skin to create suction, which helps to promote blood flow, relieve muscle tension, and improve overall well-being.

During a cupping session, the cups are typically made of glass or silicone, and are manipulated to create a vacuum effect, this is performed either statically or a technique called “gliding”. The cups are then placed on specific areas of the body, creating a suction that draws the skin and underlying tissues into the cup. This suction can help to release tension and promote relaxation.

Cupping therapy is often used to address musculoskeletal issues such as pain, stiffness, and tightness in the muscles. It can also be effective in relieving respiratory conditions, improving digestion, and reducing stress.

In addition to its physical benefits, cupping therapy is also known to have a calming and relaxing effect on the mind and body. Many people find it to be a deeply soothing and meditative experience, helping them to release tension and stress.
