Cupping Therapy Austin TX

Cupping: Ancient Healing For Modern Pain

As a trusted approach to healing that goes back at least 2,000 years, cupping is an ancient Chinese and Middle Eastern practice that can help you heal today. Consisting of the placement of small cups on the skin, this technique uses the pressure created by these cups to stimulate blood flow, reduce inflammation and ease pain.

With the option of various cup materials (Including bamboo, metal, ceramic, or silicone) from which to choose, as well as wet and dry cupping, this approach also makes your treatment customizable. Comfortable, effective, faster healing is available in a non-invasive way that has been a trusted approach across cultures.

Cupping is a highly effective technique that can help remove toxins from your body and promote healing in areas affected by soreness and injury.

Faster Recovery

Whether you want to prevent soreness after an intense workout, address a condition like plantar fasciitis, muscle strains or back pain, cupping can provide a non-invasive and effective way to deliver blood and nutrients to the areas of your body that need extra attention.

Reduced Pain

Soreness after a game or practice is normal – But cupping immediately afterward can help shorten your discomfort and keep you at your peak performance. Cupping reduces inflammation, thereby lowering the pain you experience from injuries and tired muscles.

Enhanced Circulation

Cupping creates a suction around the affected area of the body. This suction draws blood and other fluids toward the treated area in order to improve both circulation and the delivery of nutrients.

Toxin Removal

Cupping, in addition to drawing blood toward the treated area can also move toxins away from the affected area and out of the body. By doing so, this approach can alleviate inflammation and speed healing.

“I started doing it (cupping therapy) probably like the second week of the season. I put it on for 15 minutes and haven’t had to worry about my back. I feel great. I feel young again almost.”

Akeem Spence

“That’s (cupping therapy) been the secret that I have had through this year that keeps me healthy. It’s been better than any money I’ve spent on anything else.”

Alex Naddour

Bronze medal team, 2011 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships

“(Cupping therapy) It’s very much common in our practice. We’ve found it to be an effective alternative therapy to add to our toolkit of resources… It creates a vacuum and lifts the skin up in that space and therefore creates a lift of all the soft tissue… What we’re doing is sort of flossing the soft tissue as we glide up and down and across the muscle tissue… It really increases motion and gets rid of what we call subtle tissue lesions within certain areas of the body.”
