Cupping therapy in Melbourne is a therapy to remove stagnation and stimulate free flow of qi, the vital energy that circulates through the body and around us. If this form of energy were disturbed or disrupted, it would create stagnation or imbalances the body.
This treatment involves warming and placing of cups on the skin. Warming the cup creates vacuum, when applied to skin, draws up the tissue into the cup. This increase the blood flow, loosens the connective tissue, thus stimulating healing. Its working is similar to deep tissue massage that reduces pain.
Cupping may cause temporary bruises, soreness, mainly dependent on the degree of suction created by vacuum and the level of internal stagnation. The favorable outcome for this procedure is successfully removing toxins and stagnation. The cups are removed by lifting one edge, allow air in and break the seal and vacuum.
The type of cupping is selected based on the treatment goals and the acupuncturist. The most commonly used variety is the glass. Earlier cups of bamboo, clay and animal horns are used for this procedure. The cups once placed on the skin are left for 15-20 minutes, depending upon the nature on the individual's condition. The general course of treatment involves four to six sessions, in intervals starting from three to ten days.
