Cupping is a traditional therapy designed to stimulate blood flow and promote the smooth movement of Qi through the superficial muscle layers. Many Charleston residents turn to cupping to relieve sore muscles, reduce tension, ease neck and shoulder pain, and even support recovery from the common cold
During a session, small cups are carefully placed on specific areas of your body. A vacuum is created under each cup using heat or suction, drawing blood and energy toward the surface. Depending on your needs, the cups may be gently moved across the affected are of left in place for several minutes.
It’s common to leave a session with circular red marks on the skin. These marks are a normal part of the therapy and typically fade within a few days. Cupping is a safe, natural way to promote the healing, release tension, and support overall wellness for Charleston patients seeking holistic care.
