Cupping & Gua Sha Therapies
are often used to alleviate pain?
New to Cupping & Gua Sha?
Cupping and Gua Sha Therapies have been a part of Chinese Medicine for thousands of years. These modalities are practiced in homes of eastern countries and the skills are passed down from generation to generation. Mothers and grandmothers use both Cupping and Gua Sha to ward off illness when a loved one is starting to get sick. In our culture, both modalities are often used to relieve tension and reduce pain. Cupping and Gua Sha can also boost the immune system when performed on the upper back, over the lungs.
​
What is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping typically uses glass, silicone, or plastic cups placed on the body during a treatment to produce therapeutic effects. Suction with either fire or a hand-pump is used to create myofascial decompression of the skin and tissues. Cupping can leave bruise-like marks that usually resolve within two weeks. This treatment should not be painful. In fact, most people find it extremely relaxing.
​
What is Gua Sha Therapy?
Gua Sha uses a smooth edged tool made out of stone or metal, typically. The Gua Sha tool is scraped along the skin to promote detoxification and release painful and tight muscles. This treatment can leave bruise-like marks, but is not usually painful. Gua Sha marks typically resolve within two weeks.
