Cupping
How does cupping work?
A cupping session with me begins with a conversation to get to know the patient's health history and state. This is followed by a massage to identify muscular tension. I then apply the cupping glasses. The vacuum created inside the glass gently lifts the skin, promoting local blood circulation and lymphatic flow, stimulating the metabolism and relaxing the muscles in the treated area.
The suction effect can reach deeper layers of connective tissue and so helps to release tension, harmonize the flow of energy, and support the body’s detoxification processes.
To further support the metabolism, a foot massage is included as part of every cupping session.

Cupping is a naturopathic method that has been used for thousands of years and has its roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as well as European healing practices. This technique uses special cupping glasses that are placed on the skin using suction.
"The art of healing is to bring the body to a state where it can heal itself."
