(Vacuum) cupping is a method in which muscle, tissue and fascia are pulled AWAY from one another in an attempt to help break up loosen tight muscles, decrease pain and increase circulation. Cupping may leave large, dark “bruises” on your skin but is most frequently not painful during or after the process.

*Vacuum cupping is only different from fire cupping in the method in which is used to produce suction. As a bona fide and self-proclaimed klutz, I will NOT be implementing fire cupping into my practice.*
