Best Cupping near me in Santee, San Diego

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.

Because the suction created by cupping draws blood to the skin’s surface, you’re likely to experience some discoloration or bruising. It will take anything from a few hours to two weeks for these to disappear completely. You can get rid of the marks more quickly by drinking water and resting.

During cupping therapy, a practitioner will place special cups onto your skin to create suction; this pulls the tissue beneath the cups upwards and increases the flow of blood to the area. Cupping is thought to help draw out impurities, facilitate healing, and improve the body’s energy flow. You can choose to have dry cupping (which we’ve described above) or wet cupping, which involves puncturing your skin with sterile needles so that blood is physically drawn out through the suction process.

Studies have shown that cupping may improve blood and lymph circulation to the skin and reduce inflammation.
