Cupping is a therapy used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to remove stagnation and stimulate the flow of qi (chi), the flow of vital energy circulating through the body and the world around us.
If the qi is disrupted or disturbed, it can create stagnation (blockages) or imbalances in the body.
Traditionally cupping therapy is applied using a glass fire-heated cup by a licensed acupuncturist.
However, today, vacuum pump cups made of hard plastic or silicone have proven to be effective and beneficial when incorporated into a massage therapy session.
