Cupping

Cupping has been practiced in China for centuries. A flame is used to quickly create a vacuum inside a glass cup that is then placed on painful areas such as your back or on the backs of your legs. The feeling of cupping is unique and satisfying – the suction lifts the underlying muscle, stimulating energy and blood circulation to wash away blockage and stagnation, leaving the whole area feeling relaxed and invigorated.
