What is Cupping in Evergreen CO

Dr. Abigail Hydock is certified in cupping therapy which is an ancient form of alternative medicine where a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. The idea is to draw blood to or away from parts of your body. IT is used to treat many problems, such as soft tissue pain, inflammation, scar tissue, muscle tension, and promote relaxation. Cupping is meant to increase blood flow while removing fluids and toxins from the area being treated, allowing the area to heal faster.

Benefits of Cupping

• Move fresh blood to the area
• Releases toxins
• Stimulates acupuncture points
• Increases circulation of blood and lymph
• Relaxation of over tight muscles
• Reduction of inflammation

This therapy will leave noticeable marks on the skin which look like a bruise or hickey and these marks are sometimes known as "cup kisses". They may look alarming they are not painful and they will fade in 3 to 7 days.
