This suction increases blood flow to the localized area, increasing healing time. its a reverse pressure that can work at breaking up scar tissues as much as 4" down and wide. It is thought to improve the flow of energy in the body and facilitate healing. 

Cupping has been around since at least 1550 BCE, and is recorded in many countries medical histories, tho most popularly for ancient Chinese medicine. 

There are many difference Cupping techniques. We use Fire Cupping - Which uses glass cups and a bit of fire briefly placed inside the cup before placing the cup on the body... the fire burns off the oxygen inside the cup creating the suction. The Cups are not hot, Cupping may feel strange, but it does not hurt. tho you will have hickey like brusies that look like you have been attacked by an octopus.

Slide cupping begins the same way, but once the cup is placed, the cup is gently pulled up and away from the bod slightly,  and slid along the surface. this breaks up stuck fascia.. Slide cupping leaves significant more purpling and may cause discomfort or pain, but only mild.. 

Gua sha is a traditional Chinese healing method in which a trained professional uses a smooth-edged tool to stroke your skin with pressure. This motion raises small, red, rash-like dots that show under your skin called petechiae.

Typically, gua sha is considered safe. However, you may have some  discoloration of your skin. You could also be sore and tender for a short while after you have your treatment.

You shouldn't have it if you're taking blood thinners.
