Cupping is an ancient form of therapy that has been around for over 3,000 years. The Chinese, Tibetans, Koreans, and Egyptians made use of cups to help cure various ailments ranging from fever to pain.

Cupping involves the placement of cups directly on the skin to create a vacuum or suction. This creates an increase of blood circulation at the placement of the cup. Multiple cups can be used to effect change, such as structural shifts. Cupping is often done in tandem with a variety of other massage techniques.

A massage therapist will create a vacuum inside the cups, adhering the cups to the skin. Some types of cups have a one-way valve in them to be used to pull out air from the cup. The skin will then begin to be pulled up into the cup, where it will be left on the skin for a period of time.

At Golden Massage, we perform the following types of cupping: dry cupping and running cupping. We use glass and silicone cups in our treatment.

Cupping may help with headaches, pain relief, arthritis, increase range of motion, stretch underlying tissue, improve circulation, help overall skin blood flow, reduce inflammation, shingles, acne, carpal tunnel, rheumatoid arthritis, muscular
tightness, promote cell repair, and boost immune functions and lymphatic drainage.

Cups have been made out of different materials such as glass or silicone.
