Cupping therapy, also known as cupping, is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) technique that uses glass or silicone cups to create a gentle suction on the skin. This ancient treatment is used to improve blood circulation, relieve muscle pain and release blocked energy in the body. At Spa Natural Center, we apply this technique in a professional and personalized way, helping our clients to reduce physical and mental tension in a safe and relaxing environment.
What is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping therapy is based on the use of cups that are placed on the skin, creating a vacuum that gently lifts the skin and underlying tissues. This process stimulates blood flow to specific areas of the body, helping to release toxins and improve circulation. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, cupping is believed to unblock the flow of energy or Qi, allowing it to circulate more smoothly and promote healing.
There are different cupping techniques available at Spa Natural Center, which include:
- Dry cupping: Cups are placed on specific points on the body and left in place for several minutes.
- Movable suction cups: Oil is applied to the skin and the cups glide smoothly, stimulating a larger surface area and providing a deep massage.
Our therapists evaluate your needs and decide which technique is best for you.
