Cupping
Dating back to 1,550 B.C., cupping was used in ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern cultures. Cupping increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed. This may relieve muscle tension, which can improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair. It may also help form new connective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue, as well as create space between the fascial layers.
*Bruising and marking may be evident for 3-7+ days after treatment
*Cupping is contraindicated directly on veins, arteries, nerves, skin inflammation, any skin lesion, body orifices, eyes, lymph nodes, varicose veins, on open wounds, bone fractures, and sites of deep vein thrombosis
* I will not preform cupping on any of these pathologies or areas*
