Cupping is an ancient Chinese medicine technique which involves creating a vacuum in glass or plastic cups, either by using a flame to burn out the oxygen inside or using a suction pump.
The vacuum created by cupping can help loosen muscles and encourage blood flow, which can help to relieve back, neck & shoulder pain & tense muscles.
Oil is first applied to the skin, then the cups are moved around the area where tension shows up, indicated by erythema, which is a result of the blood being pulled into the area. This helps to relieve muscle tension, which improves the blood flow, promotes cell repair & releases toxins through the lymphatic system.
