CUPPING

Cupping Therapy is the gentle practice of placing small glass, plastic, or silicon cups on the skin with suction. Originally an ancient Chinese medicine, this practice has been around for thousands of year, but was made more popular in the US during the 2016 Olympics. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is taught that cupping can influence the flow of energy or “qi”. Many western practitioners focus more on what the therapy does to muscles and blood flow.At Encanto we use cupping sessions to open up space within our tissues; which increases blood flow, lymphatic drainage (detoxifying), and reduce muscle tension.
