Cupping (medi-cupping and stationary cupping)
Description
Cupping is an ancient somatic practice of lifting tissues to create space and move fluids in the tissues through the use of glass or plastic cups that suction body tissue into the vacuum of the cup created by pump or machine (traditionally fire was used to create the suction). Movement of lymph fluid, blood and other stagnant fluids out of the area being cupped creates greater range of motion and healthier tissues.
