Cupping therapy has been used around the world to treat a variety of conditions for thousands of years. The vacuum created by the cup on the skin increases local blood circulation and the flow of Qi. The immune system is stimulated, more nutrients are brought to the muscles, and toxins and waste products are removed to promote healing.
Cupping therapy is widely used to treat painful stiff muscles and joints, reduce inflammation, and to heal soft tissue damaged from surgery or injury. Some people have also found it helpful in relieving fatigue, anxiety, insomnia, colds and flu, asthma, fibromyalgia, menstrual and menopause problems, digestive issues and more.
Glass cups, warmed by a flame, are placed directly onto oiled skin in the area being treated. A combination of different cupping techniques are used during treatment. Cups may stay in place for up to 10 minutes which can leave deep red or purple marks on your skin. This is stagnation and toxins that has been brought to the surface from deeper layers of tissue, not bruising, and will clear after a few days.
Cupping therapy’s impact is best felt as part of a full KORE Therapy treatment but can be given as a stand-alone treatment. Please get in touch with me if you would like to find out more.
