Cupping
Cupping dates back to 1550 BC
Cupping involves the use of cups applied to a patient's back in a series of positions in order to produce suction. The vacuum effect targets areas of skin and deep tissue within the back, which is beneficial for dulling pain, breaking up deep scar tissue, and relaxing tender muscles or connective tissue and also cupping can encourage blood flow, and sedate the nervous system.
