Cupping & Gua Sha
Cupping is a therapeutic technique where cups are applied to the skin, creating a vacuum that helps promote blood flow, release fascia, and reduce muscle tension for pain relief and overall well-being.
About the service
Embark on a journey into the ancient healing practice of cupping at Jade Pathway Clinic, deeply rooted in traditional Chinese medicine. Our skilled practitioners apply glass, bamboo, or plastic cups to the skin, creating a vacuum through a flame or a valve attachment. This therapeutic technique opens up tissues, releases fascia, improves blood flow, and alleviates tension in the body and muscles, fostering pain reduction and healing.
Our clinic employs two distinct styles of cupping:
- Static Cupping: Cups are strategically placed on selected acupuncture points or muscle areas in need of treatment, leaving behind the well-known round marks often seen on Olympic athletes.
- Sliding Cupping: With a thin layer of oil applied to the skin, cups are moved over a larger area, offering a sensation similar to a massage. The gentle, upward pulling pressure distinguishes this style.
Cupping can be a standalone treatment or combined with acupuncture, proving effective for muscular pain, stiffness, and recovery. Beyond that, it demonstrates efficacy in addressing conditions such as migraines, fatigue, anxiety, breathing issues, and more. The suction effect reaches tissues up to 4 inches below the surface, providing a comprehensive solution for various health concerns. Trust our qualified acupuncturists to integrate cupping into your holistic well-being journey, targeting acupuncture points and channels for a comprehensive approach to health.
