Cupping, and ancient healing tool that has been traced back to ancient Egypt, China, Europe, Africa and Native American cultures, is making a comeback. Popularized by the growing acceptance of “alternative therapies” and Hollywood stars, there truly is something to this technique…but what exactly is it and how does it work. Cupping uses vacuum therapies to stimulates the lymphatic, circulatory, and central nervous systems. This causes a chain effect of positive reactions that are healing to the body – alleviating health issues from carpal tunnel to hormonal imbalances to breaking down scar tissue. Read Massage Today’s full article for an in-depth understanding of cupping. And if you want to experience it yourself – book an appointment with Dr. Tim Price or Dr. Shwu-Yar Tsai.
