Best Cupping near me in Uptown Central, San Antonio

Cupping therapy is an ancient practice where special cups are placed on the skin and suction is created, either by heat (fire cupping) or mechanical suction (vacuum cupping). The suction lifts the tissue, promoting blood flow, loosening fascia, and releasing tension. It is used in both TCM and sports medicine.

Cupping aims to eliminate toxins and clear blockages in your body’s energy flow. You’re likely to see this more physically if you opt for wet cupping, a process that punctures the skin with needles and applies the cups to draw out blood. It’s thought that wet cupping can help the kidneys remove heavy metals from your body.
