Chinese cupping Therapy

How Cupping Works

Cupping therapy involves placing suction cups on specific areas of the body, such as joints and along the back. These cups may leave circular marks that fade after a few days, a natural sign of improved blood circulation in the area.

Therapists often use cupping to:

• Relieve muscle tension and stiffness

• Enhance blood flow to specific areas

• Support detoxification

• Complement other treatments like acupuncture

Benefits of Cupping

Cupping is highly beneficial for both general health and specific conditions. Many athletes, including Michael Phelps, use it for recovery and injury management. At New Haw Therapy Clinic, cupping is tailored to your needs and can be used to:

• Aid muscle release and recovery.

• Treat respiratory issues, such as shortness of breath, colds, and coughs.

• Relieve tension in the back, thighs, hips or other compromised areas.

Cupping and Acupuncture

Cupping is often used as part of acupuncture sessions to enhance treatment results. For instance:

• To address respiratory concerns, cups may be moved along the back to relax the diaphragm, open the chest, and release cold and dampness.

• To prepare for acupuncture in areas like the lower back, thighs, or hips, cupping relaxes muscles and increases blood flow for improved effectiveness.

Cupping therapy is a versatile and effective tool for promoting recovery, relaxation, and overall well-being. Discover how Chinese Cupping Therapy at New Haw Therapy Clinic can support your health and healing journey.
