What is Cupping Therapy in Shorewood WI?

Cupping is a myofascial release technique It has been used for centuries in Eastern medicine to relieve muscle pains. Plastic cups are placed onto the skin, and suction is created by a pump to keep them on the skin. This negative pressure helps to decompress the area by lifting the skin and the tissues underneath the skin into the cup. The temporary increase in space allows the underlying tissues to relax, which reduces pain and improves function. Cups are left on the skin for 10 minutes or less.
