Introduction to Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy is an ancient medicine practice, often rooted in Chinese and Middle Eastern traditions, that uses suction cups on the skin to increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and ease muscle tension. By creating negative pressure, it helps relieve pain, speed up muscle recovery, and promote relaxation.
