Cupping Information
•Cupping uses suction to create negative pressure whereas massage uses compression to create positive pressure on the tissues.
•Cupping has been around since ancient times. It has historically been used with blood-letting to remove evil/poison/disease from the body.
•The marks left behind from the cups are discolorations. Despite how they look, these marks are not bruises and they do not leave behind any sensation, swelling, or soreness. The discolorations can be indicative of stagnation, congestion, and deficiencies. The healthier you are or the more treatments you receive, you will have less colorations. Moving cups may be used to prevent discolorations. Any marks will go away within a couple of days or up to 2 weeks depending on your level of stagnation or how you care for yourself following the treatment.
•There are various styles and materials of cups used in cupping, including (but not limited to) glass, plastic, and silicone. There are many methods and techniques that can be used when treating the body with suction.
