“Where there’s stagnation, there will be pain. Remove the stagnation, and you remove the pain.”

 

When there is an obtruction of Qi, BIood, and fluid circulation, the natural flow of the body is impaired causing pain and/or dysfunction.  Chinese cupping is a technique used to break up the blockage to restore the body’s natural flow of energy.  Fire cupping is a technique whereby fire is used to create a suction so glass cups can be applied to the body.  These cups are left stationary or slid along the body to break up tension and/or adhesions in the muscle and fascial layers. It is like an inverse massage and can be very relaxing and soothing to aching muscles.
