Cupping Therapy at Price Health
What is Cupping?
Cupping, like massage, is an ancient form of therapy where different types of cups are applied to the body creating a negative pressure (suction). The negative pressure creates a lift and separation in the tissue that complements the compression of most manual therapies. Cupping affects several areas of the body including circulation, fascia, joints, lymph, skin and muscle tissue. Cupping can easily be incorporated with your regular massage treatments or done as a separate treatment altogether. After a cupping treatment you will find stretching, foam rolling, strengthening and other manual treatments more effective.

Cupping treatments could create what appears to be bruising on the treatment site however, cupping marks are not bruises. A cupping mark is a result of increased blood to the area, whereas a bruise is due to an injury to the body.
Cups are disinfected after each treatment as per high level disinfection guidelines.
