CUPPING THERAPY in Reno

History of Cupping Therapy

In China, the earliest use of cupping is known to be from the famous Taoist alchemist and herbalist, Ge Hong (281-341 A.D.) For over 3,000 years, holistic therapy has been typically used with the belief that using the technique brings about a detoxification effect of the internal organs due to exposure to earthly toxins.

Proponents claim the suction helps facilitate the flow of "qi" in the body. Qi is a Chinese word meaning life force. Many Taoists believe that cupping helps balance yin and yang, or the negative and positive, within the body.

Restoring balance between these two extremes is thought to help with the body's resistance to pathogens as well as its ability to increase blood flow and reduce pain.

The Philosophy Behind Pain and Cupping.

"Where there's stagnation, there will be pain. Remove the stagnation, and you remove the pain."

If pain is the essence of disease, then suffering is a result of obstructed or irregular flow in the body. Chinese cupping is therefore a method of breaking up the blockage to restore the body's natural flow of energy.

Cupping and fat loss

Cupping improves your metabolism by removing stagnation in your blood. As we age, our circulatory system weakens, which interferes with the movement of blood. Stagnating blood interferes with the delivery of fresh blood to cells, tissues and organs. Over time, this causes them to become metabolically more inefficient.

Cupping therapy loosens up connective tissue and opens up capillaries, allowing newly oxygenated blood to pour into the area of application. This helps your cells grow, repair and in the process accelerate your metabolism.

At the same time, this process flushes out the stagnated blood through the lymphatic system, carrying waste and ruptured fat cells along with it.

What makes cupping so special is that it can affect tissues up to four inches beneath the skin! This makes it one of the best deep-tissue therapies available since it can even remove visceral fat nestled around your internal organs.

Cupping for skin repair

Cupping gently pulls skin up and away from fascia tissue that may have formed in deeper layers of the skin.

What should I expect during a cupping treatment?

During a modern dry gliding cupping treatment, a silicone cup is placed on the skin with massage oil. This cup creates a vacuum that draws the skin and muscle upward into the cup. Once the suction has occurred, the cups can be gently moved across the skin.

Cupping is creating a "negative pressure" massage, rather than applying pressure to muscles, the suction in the cups causes the skin and superficial muscle layer to be lightly drawn into the cup. The advantage of this is that blood is drawn to the area, increasing circulation and reducing inflammation.

The suction cup pulls blood to the surface of the skin and increases blood flow. This increase of blood flow has a purifying effect on the tissues and can stimulate the release of tension and inflammation
