Cupping Houston![]() Cupping is another method of oriental medical treatment that allows a pain relieving experience. This therapeutic technique has shown to be effective in alleviating discomfort throughout the body. This treatment utilizes small to medium glass cups as suction tools that are heated with fire and immediately placed on the skin to break up stagnation by bringing blood and energy to the surface of the skin.
Many patients have said that cupping feels like a tight pulling of the skin but is not painful by any means. More than anything, cupping will relax your muscles and reduce cramping. If you are feeling tightness along your body, cupping will allow the muscles to relieve some of the tension. Some patients have even gone to mention they feel greater mobility afterwards. Cupping has been a growing trend even among famous celebrities and successful business men. The media went wild when Michael Phelps, one of the greatest athletes and Olympians in the world showcased his back filled with the round markings of cupping before he went to compete in the Rio games. He mentioned he likes to get the treatment before almost every one of his competitions to relax his muscles. This practice helps recover overworked muscles faster and helps avoid any soreness. Cupping has also been known to allow quicker recovery from other illnesses and strains of the body. Although cupping looks like it might be painful, it is not and most patients only notice the warmth it leaves behind more than any discomfort. Whether you are experiencing back pain, strained body parts, tense muscles, etc. cupping is a great alternative to a speedier recovery and greater comfort.
