Cupping

Cupping in St. Pete

Cupping treatments involve applying cups to the skin with a negative pressure to create suction. Most cupping practitioners will use cups made of acrylic plastic or glass during your treatment. When the cups are placed on the skin a negative pressure is applied inside of them. This creates a suction that helps draw blood into the area to support recovery. This suction draws blood into the small blood vessels, supporting the body’s own recovery process. Originating from Traditional Chinese medicine, cupping is one of the most ancient forms of body work known.

Cupping made headlines worldwide Michael Phelps appeared in the 2016 olympics with red circles on his back from a recent cupping treatment.
