Cupping Therapy is an ancient Chinese method of causing local congestion. A partial vacuum is created within the cup which is applied to the skin, drawing up the underlying tissues. This technique has the effect of dilating underlying blood vessels, causing the release of muscle tension and increasing blood flow to the underlying muscle. Cupping technique often results in bruising which usually resolves in 2 to 3 days.

Cupping therapy helps treat common disorders, such as:

- back pain
- tiredness
- hypertension
- stress related disorders
- broken veins and sports injuries

Cupping therapy removes pain, relaxes stiff muscles and tendons, improves the flow of blood through joints and detoxifies the skin and circulatory system. The technique is very useful and very safe.
