Cupping Therapy in Glasgow

Cupping is a technique where glass, rubber or silicone cups are attached to the body using gentle suction to clear tight muscles or areas of tension, often on the back, neck and shoulders. Cupping enables the (restricted) blood and energy to move again and travel to the area to begin the healing process.

Cupping is an age old technique used in traditional Chinese medicine to stimulate the acupuncture points or larger areas of the body. Cupping is often practiced alongside acupuncture but can also be used as a treatment in its own right. Cupping is not painful however it can leave reddish patches on the skin which indicates that there has been movement in the circulation of blood under and around the cups. This is normal and will clear within a few days.
