How Does Cupping Work?
Negative Pressure is used to increase circulation and lymph flow, draw out toxins, release adhesions and tight fascia, relax tense muscles, and increase bllod flow and oxygen to stagnant tissues in the body.
Cupping is generally performed on the back, for pain and stagnation, but it can also be performed on the neck, arms, legs, hips, abdomen, feet and face.
The intended suction can rnage from light to heavy. It is versatile and can easily be modified to accomplish a range of techniques, from lymphatic drainage to deep tissue release.
Cupping is calming for the nervous system, so deep relaxation and a general sense of well being is often felt.
What Are The Marks Left After Cupping?
The marks that are sometimes left after a treatment are the result of stagnant blood, lymph and toxins being pulled to the surface. The marks are typically not bruises. They will fade as the toxins and blood pulled from within the muscles and tissues are flushed out of the system.
Drinking lots of water will help flush the toxins out from your system.
