Cupping is a therapy that has been used for centuries and is often offered as a complementary treatment alongside acupuncture or as a stand-alone treatment.
In traditional practice, cupping is based on the idea that discomfort can be related to poor circulation or tension in the body. The gentle suction created by the cups is intended to encourage blood flow to the area, which may help relax muscles, ease tightness, and support the body’s natural healing process.
What to Expect After Treatment
After treatment, you may notice round marks where the cups were placed. These marks can look like bruises, but they are usually not painful and often fade within a few days to two weeks, depending on your body and the type of treatment you received.Potential Benefits
