What is cupping?
Here at Grounded Wellness we do Dynamic cupping. Dynamic cupping is were an RMT uses silicon cups to create a suction against the skin. Cupping is great for a number of reasons:
- Cupping releases illness- causing stagnation. If you have allergies and a cold it is often said you have a stagnation of the lungs. RMT practitioners consider that cupping work better the darker color the mark is because the darker the color the more stagnation has been released.
- Increases circulation and speeds up healing with bringing fresh blood flow to the area in question. Because cupping creates localized inflammation, it can have this effect on a stagnant injury in addition to stimulating more blood and lymph flow to that area.
- Reduces pain and inflammation. Massage techniques involve manipulating blood flow into a muscle to release a trigger point and flush inflammation. Cupping therapy can do the same thing for areas of the body with less fat tissue, such as back and shoulders.
- Cupping releases the facia throughout the body, which help create a greater range of motion and helps improve flexibility.
