Cupping therapy dates back to ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern cultures and is used to stimulate the metabolism.

It helps with blood circulation and oxygenation in the treated area, as well as enhances the general sense of well-being.

Cupping has numerous benefits — it can help remove toxins from the body and stimulate the flow of  blood, lymph, and Qi to the affected area and throughout the body.

People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, relaxation, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.

Many athletes use cupping to speed up muscle recovery time, increase flexibility and  create better blood circulation in the body.

Massage Cupping has also been used for weight loss and cellulite reduction.

Chinese Cupping Therapy is often used in conjunction with acupuncture and acupressure and would be used as part of a treatment plan if required.
