Cupping

Cupping

Millions of people swear by cupping for relieving pain & inflammation. But believe it or not, there’s actually been a healthy amount of evidence around exactly how cupping works. Here’s what we know. Cupping produces a negative pressure in your underlying tissues (fascia & Muscle) this pressure brings
bood and immune cells to the area (hyperemia) which improves circulation and promotes healing. In addition, when muscles are in spasm, they can actually block your blood from flowing through your capillaries. Tiny clots can form throughout the capillary system. The application of negative pressure through cupping pulls some of these micro-clots to the surface. This can cause some superficial bruising, yet allows for better circulation and the relaxation of your muscles.
Yet tight muscles are not the only issues that responds to cups. One randomized control study , recently reported in the “Journal of Pain” showed that cupping helped improve CARPAL TUNNEL syndrome, a problem related to tendons, and nerves in the wrists. Postherpetic neuralgia ( SHINGLES), also seems to respond well to cupping. In addition Orthopedic syndromes all over the body, Knees, hips, shoulders and back can benefit easily with Cupping. Another supreme benefit is in the application of cups for improving the “LIFT”, one can achieve with Facial muscles, particularly In the neck and jowl areas!! In this case less pressure is involved, and will not cause any bruising or redness.
