Description

Cupping therapy became trendy after Michael Phelps and other athletes showed cupping marks all over their bodies during the Olympics, however it is actually an ancient Chinese Medicinal technique used for many ailments. It is the inverse therapy of massage. Instead of applying pressure to muscles the suction pulls skin and muscles upward. The main applications are for muscular and skeletal pains, chest congestions, and pulling out the accumulated toxins caused by poor diet or organ dysfunction. Cupping is most beneficial for reducing joint and muscle pain, relaxing deep muscles, and easing stiffness associated with chronic back and neck pains, migraines, rheumatism, and fatigue. It also helps with food indigestion, pain and gas in the abdomen, water retention, bloating, lack of energy, and more. Cupping is also commonly used for cosmetic reasons such as the reduction of cellulite.
