Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.
Cupping Therapy has been recently brought back to the public, however its origin stems from ancient civilizations in China, India, and Egypt. Using negative pressure, a vacuum creates a suction effect that increases blood and lymphatic circulation, relaxes muscle tissue and fascia, draws stagnation, pathogenic factors and toxins out of the body and releases a myriad of pain causing factors. Cupping therapy helps relieve muscular tightness, nerve impingement, digestive problems, sciatica, migraines, and many many more!
Most people are not familiar with the procedure, but it gained a bit of notoriety of few years ago when the olympic swimmers showed red rings on their backs which were later revealed to be caused by cupping.
