In Cupping therapy small cups (Glass or Silicon) are placed on the skin, creating a vacuum underneath them. This sucks the skin and the underlying tissues upward into the cup. It creates more space underneath the skin, therefore increasing the blood flow. Cupping relaxes the muscles and releases toxins so it explains its detoxing action.  Cupping is a non-invasive and relaxing treatment which could be used along with Acupuncture and Sports Massage or on its own as a single effective modality.
