Chinese cupping is a traditional therapy rooted in Chinese medicine, using specially designed cups to create suction on the skin. This technique aims to encourage circulation, ease muscular tension and promote a feeling of relaxation and wellbeing.
During treatment, cups are carefully placed on selected areas of the body, creating a vacuum effect that gently lifts the skin and underlying tissue. This can help relieve feelings of tightness, stiffness and muscle discomfort.
