Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a health therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to creating suction. Often, this method is used to increase blood and oxygen to an overused muscle thereby decreasing healing times. Cupping has also been shown to help with areas of inflammation and swelling from sports related injuries or post-surgical interventions. Various methods of cupping may be used to massage areas of fascial adherence and soft tissue immobility for the betterment of kinematic function and mitigation of pain.
