Cupping Therapy π§π±
The suction and negative pressure provided by cupping can loosen muscles, encourage blood flow prompting healing, and sedate the nervous system (which makes it an excellent treatment for high blood pressure). Cupping is used to relieve back and neck pains, stiff muscles, anxiety, fatigue, migraines, rheumatism, and even cellulite.π€
Many professional athletes are increasingly using cupping therapy as part of their recovery practices. π€ΎπΌββοΈ
Bruising? π³
At this point, cupping bruises aren't so shocking. They've even been seen on the red carpet by Olympic Athlete Michae Phelps and actress Gweneth Paltrow. π
How dark the marks are can also depend on how easily you typically bruise. Most cupping bruises will stay dark for a couple of days but could last a whole week. Either way, it's not something to freak out about.π€ͺ
Cups that are being used for stationary cupping are left on no longer than 10min.
Thanks to my awesome client Jimmy!
