Cupping Therapy

Cupping Therapy is known to bring "new life" to our vast system of connective tissue. The skillful application of silicon cups lifting fascia and muscular tissue, gliding across muscles with a gentle lift offers a release of tension that is both relieving and lasting.

Myofascial cupping therapy decompresses the soft muscular tissue and fascia networks in our body. Cupping works gently to opens up lymphatic pathways, increases blood flow, lymphatic & energetic circulation. cupping therapy activates the bodies natural elimination processes, moving out stagnant lactic acid, old blood and other interstitial fluids that have stagnated in our soft tissue. this ancient application of Decompression Cupping brings the soft tissue of our body back to a healthy state, it improves our range of motion, reduces pain, and can help to realign scar tissue, activate healing in new and old injuries all while nurturing our parasympathetic nervous system and inciting deep relaxation
