Cupping Therapy - Ancient Healing for Modern Wellness
What is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping therapy is a time-honored healing technique that dates back over 3,000 years, originating in ancient China, Egypt, and Middle Eastern cultures. This therapeutic practice involves placing specially designed cups on the skin to create controlled suction, which draws blood flow to the surface and promotes healing in the underlying tissues.
At Relax Wellness Center, we use modern fire cupping and silicone cupping methods to safely and effectively deliver the therapeutic benefits of this ancient practice. The suction created by the cups helps to lift and separate tissue layers, allowing for increased blood flow, lymphatic drainage, and the release of fascial restrictions.
