Cupping
Cupping is a Traditional Chinese Medicine practice performed by placing cups on the skin, and by using heat or suction, the underlying tissue is slightly drawn up into the cup by vacuum. They are left like this for a few minutes allowing blood stasis (slowing or pooling of blood) which is when healing takes place.

Cupping has been practiced for thousands of years for the treatment of disease and pain. It is a form of acupuncture that focuses on the movement of blood, energy - called Qi - and body fluids, such as lymph - which circulates around the body's tissues. Oriental medicine states pain is due to stagnation of these systems. This stagnation can be a result of injury or stress. Cupping is believed to stimulate flow of blood, lymph and Qi to the affected area. Its uses include relieving pain in the muscles, especially back pain from stiffness or injury, sciatica and clearing congestion in the chest, which can occur with colds and flu.
