WHAT IS TRADITIONAL CUPPING THERAPY?
There are many types of cupping, but flame cupping is the most traditional cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine and has been around for thousands of years. Cupping is based on the belief that certain health problems can be caused by stagnant blood and a poor energy flow through your body. To reduce or prevent those health issues, cupping practitioners apply cups, typically glass, to your skin to create a pressure that sucks your skin inward. The pressure that the cups create draws blood to the affected area, increasing your blood flow overall.
WHAT IS MYOFASCIAL CUPPING?
Myofascial Cupping is a soft-tissue therapy that encourages healing by creating a negative pressure or suction on the skin using plastic or silicon cups. This pressure is to pull up underlying tissues, blood, and other fluids close to the surface of the skin.
