Cupping Therapy
Treatment Details
Treatment Description
Cupping therapy is a form of TCM that involves applying suction cups to specific points on the body to stimulate circulation and release muscle tension. The suction created by the cups can help to break up stagnation and improve the flow of qi, leading to a reduction in pain, improvement in respiratory function, and reduction in muscle soreness. Cupping therapy is often used in combination with other TCM modalities, such as acupuncture and herbal medicine, for a holistic approach to health and wellness.
