In Houston, cupping has become increasingly popular. Cupping is a process which uses negative pressure to lift the connective and muscle tissue. During this procedure, blood, oxygen, and, therefore, energy, are able to travel freely through this tissue where before it may have been blocked. In Chinese Medicine, pain is considered the blockage of Qi, best translated as the body’s Vital Energy. Cupping is just one of the tools we have to treat pain by helping the body’s flow of energy to flow smoothly throughout the musculoskeletal system.
Cupping is an ancient Chinese therapy used to heal individuals from body infirmities via the removal of blockages and to re-balance a person’s life force, or chi. Blockages in the body can occur due to a person’s ingestion of unhealthy foods, a lack of exercise, stress or illness. Some illnesses that cupping is able to treat include abdominal pain, acne, anxiety, certain cancers, cervical spondylosis, depression, dizziness, gastrointestinal problems and headaches.
The cups are lightly heated and placed on specific pressure points or meridians on a person’s skin. Our Houston cupping therapy is performed in a safe, relaxing and distraction free environment.
