Cupping
An ancient healing technique used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Middle Eastern cultures for over 3,000 years, cupping has recently seen a resurgence thanks to athletes like Michael Phelps. It uses suction to draw stagnant blood and toxins to the surface, promoting circulation and healing. It’s excellent for muscle recovery, fascia release, and breaking up adhesions. While the round marks may look intense, they’re usually painless and fade within days. Fun fact: cupping can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, inducing a deep state of relaxation.
