Cupping is one of my favorite physical modalities to add to a treatment plan. It's a great tool to decrease tension and inflammation during your treatment. I often think of it as adjacent to a backwards massage - it pulls the muscles upward and outward via suction.
There are several ways professionals can perform cupping therapy. The kind I use most often is tradtional fire cupping. It involves a small flame going quickly in and out of a glass cup - just enough time to remove some oxygen - before the cup is placed.
If time allows during your appointment cupping may be added. If you would like to guarantee time for cupping I recommend booking it as an add on service.
