Cupping is very popular form of therapy these days, it is used by celebrities as well as Olympic team members. For so many people this is a “new” cool technique developed for fast pain relief.

What is Cupping?

Lets’ start from the beginning to understand cupping better:

1. This is not a new technique. It is as old as acupuncture (about 3500 years) and it is a part of acupuncture – Chinese Medicine practice it since forever. Therefore Licensed Acupuncturist are trained to preform safe and effective cupping therapy.
2. It is safe, fast and effective pain relief technique because it is improving circulation in the local (anatomical) affected area as well as improving circulation of qi (energy) through acupuncture meridians. Once your energy/ blood flow is restored to normal, all cause of pain is resolved and as a consequence symptoms disappear.

Sliding cupping is where we apply oil on the skin and place one or two cups on it. Instead of leaving cups in place, we slide them in a specific direction (usually following meridian pathways) to restore circulation and remove stagnation that is the cause of the symptoms.

Why Use Cupping as a Therapeutic or Preventative Technique?

First, it will improve circulation and reduce inflammation and that is always good. Healthy circulation and absence of inflammation will prevent pain and stiffness as well as support good energy levels and vitality

Second, it will help you eliminate metabolic waste (toxins) and prevent developing symptoms.

Third, for a cosmetic purpose it will increase collagen production and keep your skin healthy and glowing.

Ask for cupping as a therapeutic option if you have;

• Pain (acute or chronic)
• Low energy levels (tired)
• If you are athletes or at least exercising for a long period of time
• If you would like to look young and healthy
• If you would like to prevent stagnation (stiffness and pain)

I hope that I give you good short intro in cupping therapy and I would like to remind you to always choose a licensed professional for these techniques. Licensed professionals are trained to safely preform this technique as opposed to many others “professionals “claiming the knowledge of cupping without actual knowledge. Just ask yourself: Would you go to your favorite dentist for anxiety or heart palpitations?
