The two practices, expertly paired, resulted in complete awakening and relaxation in the limited space of an hour. The Savasana at the end of the practice was quite possibly the deepest relaxation I have ever experienced."

VUIM_What_is_Cupping_286956188_1080x1080_F30
Cupping is often described in contrast to traditional bodywork therapies such as the various modalities of massage treatments, which take a compressive approach to the acute treatment of problem areas on a patient’s body.
Cupping is in a way the opposite or inverse of these compression-based therapies - using gentle pressure to pull away from rather than pressurize toward the muscles of the body.
As evidenced by the many comments shared by the athletes using the therapy, cupping is oftentimes more effective than massage for certain muscle-based problems.
For more information about cupping and its benefits, give us a call (703) 323-5690.
