Cupping Therapy
Looking for cupping therapy in Hounslow, london?
The ancient treatment of cupping is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that has been used worldwide for centuries. It’s a safe, effective and popular way to increase blood flow to your muscles & promote healing.
What is cupping?
Cupping involves the use of sphere-shaped glass, bamboo or silicone suction cups.
The cups will be heated by a professional cupping practitioner who will place the cups on painful areas of the body.
This creates a partial vacuum effect, which increases blood circulation around painful areas such as the back, neck, shoulders and thighs.
By improving circulation, it improves lymphatic drainage —reducing swelling and inflammation.

FAQs
-
Cupping is generally considered safe. However, it should not be performed on people who have bleeding disorders or skin conditions that could be aggravated by the treatment. People with heart problems should also avoid cupping therapy.

Cupping is a type of therapy that uses suction to pull the skin and underlying tissue up. The suction is created by placing glass or plastic cups on the surface of the skin, then creating a vacuum inside the cup with a hand pump. The suction pulls blood to the surface and can help relieve pain, inflammation, muscle spasms and other conditions.

Dry cupping is the most common cupping therapy. This consists of heating cups and once cooled, they are placed onto the skin to create suction and increase blood circulation.
The cups are normally left anywhere from 3 to 15 minutes, depending on the treatment required. Once the cups are removed, you will notice visible red cupping marks on the skin, which will normally dissipate in 5 to 10 days.
-
Wet cupping or blood cupping is used to reduce toxins in the body while also increasing blood flow. This involves the assistance of a professional cupping therapist who will use a surgical knife to make small cuts on the skin. They will then place the cups over the cuts to draw out any bad toxins.
