Rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, Cupping is a therapeutic art that harmonises the flow of Qi and Blood, promoting overall well-being. Unlike traditional fire cups, our Point of Origin practice utilises vacuum cups, allowing precise pressure adjustments tailored to individual needs, making it a gentle and effective treatment suitable for all ages, even children.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How Cupping Works:<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAt the core of Cupping is the release of myofascial tissue, the connective tissue surrounding muscles. Over time, these tissues can become tight, impeding muscle movement and contributing to various health issues. Cupping helps alleviate this restriction, providing relief similar to that of a deep massage therapy. In the realm of Chinese medicine, Cupping is believed to remove “toxins” from the body, addressing conditions such as chronic muscular stiffness, asthma, fever, and mucous-related ailments.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
