Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy is a type of procedure that has several benefits for the patient, such as detoxifying the tissues and oxygenating the skin, as well as relieving pain associated with contractures. It is a non-invasive and effective therapy of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which appeared at least 2,000 years ago.
The effects of Ventosaterapia are the reduction of local pain, reduction of local inflammation, improvement of blood flow and circulation, relaxation of muscles and reduction of contractures.
In the treatment, a cup (suction cup) is used to pull an area of the skin with a suction that decompresses the muscles and connective tissue. This promotes blood flow to the compromised area, improves circulation and helps increase the body’s own healing processes – almost like a deep tissue massage.
