CUPPING
About this Treatment
Cupping is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) family of practicies. It involves placing vacuum cups on the skin to create suction (the cups can be made of glass, bamboo, or silicone). The suction pulls the skin and underlying tissues upward, promoting blood flow to the area and stimulating the flow of Qi or energy in the meridians. Please refer to Acupuncture and Tuina for more details on Traditional Chinese Medicine.
