Cupping therapy dates back to ancient Egyptian, Chinese and middle eastern cultures. It is believed that vacuum therapy has many health benefits such as increasing blood flow to undernourished, dehydrated tissue as well as the elimination of old waste and congestion at a cellular level.
The use of vacuum therapy aids in release of soft tissue, scars and restricted fascia Issues addressed include pain relief, reduction of inflammation and relaxation for an overall increased feeling of wellness. These cups are moved over the skin using gliding, shaking, popping and rotating techniques while gently pulling up on the cup, or are parked for a short time to facilitate joint mobilization or soft tissue release.
This suction reaches deep into the soft tissue, attachments and organs and also has a sedating effect on the nervous system. Another benefit is to pull inflammation and toxins from the body tissues so that the skin and lymphatic system can readily eliminate them. Scar tissue often releases quickly, despite the age of the injury or keloid tendencies.
One of the most amazing aspects of this technique is the "separation" that the vacuum produces in tissue layers. This enables water absorption and renewed blood flow to undernourished and dehydrated tissue, which is invaluable in pre- and post-surgery treatments. It is evident that separation of fused, congested soft tissue and increase in tissue function can be a catalyst for change in many current health conditions.
