Dry Cupping

Cupping is an ancient form of traditional medicine. Dry cupping involves applying cups and leaving them on the skin for a few minutes to create suction. This result is an increase in blood circulation to the area and manipulation of the skin, cells and muscle tissue to reduce tension and eliminate scar tissue. Increased blood circulation will lead to better oxygenation of an area of tension, bringing more relief from pain. Dry cupping can also reduce pain, improve recovery, reduce stress and tension, improve digestion, rebalance energy, and improve dizziness as well as improve energy levels. Dry cupping is ideal for treating an area that is too large for massage or other therapies, such as dry needling. It can also be used for treating situations where massage is not effective, and can be used in conjunction with other therapies, such as sports massage and deep tissue massage. The theory behind Dry cupping is that the suctions from the cups will bring new, fresh blood to the area and draw stagnant blood out of the area. Dry cupping also helps to stretch fascia and tissue to reduce muscle tension which then also stimulates the formation of new blood vessels and draws waste, blood and nutrients to the damaged tissue. By using more cups around a damaged area, you are creating a ‘stretching’ effect to the connective tissue and fascia to increase the range of movement.
