Cupping Therapy Long Island

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts therapeutic cups on the skin that create suction and negative pressure. Many individuals seek cupping therapy for a number of medical reasons. Cupping is very helpful and quick when it comes to releasing muscle tension and sedating the nervous system. The cups are depressurized using different techniques depending on the type of cup and size of the cup that's being used. For instance, some practitioners that use glass cups will use fire to heat up the air inside the cup just before placement to extract oxygen and create a vacuum effect. No worries, these cups are not hot and do not burn you. If anything, they’re to relieve you.
