Client Guide to Cupping: Benefits & What to Expect
Cupping therapy is an ancient healing technique that helps with pain relief, muscle recovery, circulation, and overall well-being. This guide will help you understand the benefits of cupping and what to expect from your session.
What Is Cupping?
Cupping therapy involves placing special cups on the skin to create suction. This suction lifts the skin and underlying tissues, increasing blood flow, relieving muscle tension, and promoting natural healing.
