Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is an ancient healing practice that dates back to as early as 3000 BC. It is believed to help with a variety of health issues including pain relief, healing injuries, and improving overall health and comfort. Cupping therapy works by creating suction on the skin which helps to improve circulation and reduce inflammation in the body. This increased circulation helps to stimulate the nervous system, immune system, and parasympathetic “fight or flight” response. By stimulating these systems, cupping therapy can help improve pain relief, heal injuries faster, and provide overall health benefits. Cupping therapy can be used in combination with massage techniques for maximum effectiveness.
Cupping therapy has been used for centuries as a traditional Chinese medicine practice to help with a variety of issues. However, its use in treating anxiety and stress is relatively new. I have designed a treatment session using cupping and breathwork to aid in stress relief and anxiety. Combined with massage, this technique works by targeting the physical body to help reduce tension, while also activating the parasympathetic nervous system which helps to reduce stress hormones and lower blood pressure. These techniques can be used both separately or together depending on the individual's needs, providing an effective way to address both physical and emotional symptoms associated with anxiety and stress and hopefully reduce the need for medication.
