TCM Cupping Therapy & Massage
Cupping is a TCM technique that uses small glass cups or bamboo jars. As suction devices, these cups or jars help to break up stagnation by drawing congested blood & energy.
Once suction has been achieved, the cups are then gently moved across your skin. The suction causes skin & superficial muscle to be drawn up into the cup. In this way, it has the inverse effect of a normal massage.
Receive a safe, painless & effective cupping session that removes stagnant energy and blood from your body.
Hajima Clinic Methods
There are a number of methods that physicians can use when applying cupping therapy to the patient. These include:
- Dry cupping – the suction cups are placed on the patient with no alterations
- Wet cupping – small incisions are made on the skin before the suction cups draw small amounts of blood out
- Heating the glass away from the body – swabbing alcohol on the bottom of the cup, lighting it before placing it on the skin.
- Heating the glass near the body – placing a alcohol soaked pad over the skin before lighting it and placing the cup over.
