Cupping Therapy at Thorassic Park

Cupping is a vacuum type technique performed with handheld cups. Placing suction cups on the body creates suction to reduce tension on the skin and tissues underneath. By creating suction and vacuum pressure, it benefits to soften tight muscles, tone, loosen adhesions and lift restrictive connective tissues. The suction from cupping brings hydration and blood flow to the body's tissues. It can be used to move deep inflammation to the skin surface for release and drain excess fluid and toxins by opening lymphatic pathways. Cupping can be used over any region of the body if there is a seal between the skin and cup, therefore cupping is more suited to larger areas.
