Chinese Cupping Therapy is an ancient folk medicine and forms part of traditional Chinese Medicine. The method behind cupping is to create a vacuum inside a vessel, which is placed on the skin, thereby generating a suction within the cup. The effect of suction is to create local congestion of blood and to release connective tissue adhesions.
Most common conditions for usage include:
- Back pain
- Muscular tightness
- Muscular spasm
- Stiff neck and shoulders
- ITB syndrome
- Connective tissue release
