What to Expect

Pain often happens when there is blockage of chi, blood flow, and energy, or strained muscles.

Cupping
Cupping is a Chinese modality. (Gwyneth Paltrow showed off her cupping marks at the Oscars). It involves glass dome shaped cups that are placed on the skin with the air systematically suctioned out. This is a fantastic treatment for very tight and aching muscles. It brings maximum blood flow through the area treated, on a superficial and deep level. Suction control can vary from light to strong.

Cupping leaves a circular mark on the skin, which can take approximately 3-7 days to vanish. As blood is being drawn closer to the surface of the skin.
