Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is a traditional healing practice that involves placing suction cups on the skin to create a vacuum effect. It is commonly used to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation by improving blood flow to targeted areas. It is also thought to help with muscle tension, chronic pain conditions, and recovery from injuries.
Fire cupping is a traditional alternative therapy that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. The process typically starts with heating the inside of the cups using a flame, which is then quickly placed on the skin. As the air inside the cup cools, it creates a vacuum effect that pulls the skin and underlying tissues into the cup.

Traditional Static and Dynamic Cupping
While traditional cupping typically uses suction to create a vacuum and then leaves the cups in place for a period of time, dynamic cupping involves moving the cups around on the skin.
