Cupping Therapy – Ancient Healing for Modern Wellness
At
Health First Group Millcreek Wellness Center, we offer
Cupping Therapy, a traditional healing practice that has been used for centuries to promote
circulation, detoxification, pain relief, and relaxation. Whether you’re seeking relief from
muscle tension, chronic pain, or stress, cupping therapy is a natural and effective way to restore balance and well-being.
What is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping therapy is a non-invasive, therapeutic treatment where special cups are placed on the skin to create suction. This suction gently lifts the skin and underlying tissues, increasing blood flow, releasing toxins, and promoting deep muscle relaxation.
Cupping is commonly used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Hijama (Islamic Medicine), and modern holistic wellness practices. It can be performed as:
- Dry Cupping – Uses suction only to promote circulation and release muscle tension.
- Wet Cupping (Hijama Therapy) – Includes a minor incision to remove toxins and stagnant blood.
- Moving Cupping (Massage Cupping) – Combines suction with gliding movements for a deep tissue massage effect.
