Heat Cupping Therapy
Heat Cupping Therapy can assist with circulation, blood flow, and help reduce inflammation.
What is Heat Cupping?
Cupping therapy, a time-honored practice, is now classified under holistic or alternative medicine, much like acupuncture and aromatherapy. In this therapy, the therapist applies suction cups made of different materials, like bamboo, glass, or plastic, to various parts of the body. In the past, shells and horns were also used for this purpose. The cups are left in place, and the suction created stimulates blood flow, sometimes causing a red or purple hickey-like bruise on the skin. This therapy is believed to alleviate muscle and joint pain, reduce inflammation, and improve blood circulation.
Heat Cupping Edmonton
Heat cupping is a traditional therapeutic technique that has been used for centuries to treat a wide range of ailments. The practice involves placing cups, which are typically made of glass, bamboo, or silicone, on the skin to create a vacuum seal. This seal is generated by briefly heating the inside of the cup with heat to remove the air and then quickly placing it on the skin. As the air inside the cup cools, it creates a suction effect, causing the skin to be drawn into the cup. This suction effect is believed to stimulate blood flow, promote healing, and relieve pain and tension in the body.
