Healing shiatsu

Cupping is an ancient Chinese modality, where glass cups are applied to the skin through vacuum to create localized stimulation of circulation. The partial vacuum within the cup is created by heat or suction. The instrument is immediately placed on the skin in the desired location and creates a suctioning effect on the skin. This has the effect of drawing up the underlying tissues. When the cup is left in place like this, the stimulated circulation helps the healing process.
