Cupping is a therapeutic practice that dates back to the ancient Greeks, Egyptians, Chinese and Middle Eastern civilizations and in most recent years made popular by Olympic athletes such as Michael Phelps.

Cupping involves cups placed over specific areas of the body, creating a negative suction effect on the tissues below. The suction lifts and separates; skin, muscle, & fascia and draws oxygen rich blood to the area resulting in many healing benefits. Cupping can be used to treat a variety conditions.

Cupping may be included as part of any treatment and performed in a variety of ways depending on the desired goal. I will discuss the options and recommendations at your appointment.
