What is Moving Cupping Therapy?
Moving cupping therapy, also known as sliding cupping or cupping massage, is a gentle form of cupping where cups are moved over the skin after applying oil.
In this technique, light suction is created and the cups are slowly slid over muscles, which helps improve blood circulation and relax tense tissues.
