Introduction to Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is a time-honored healing practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and used for thousands of years to promote wellness and balance. At our Rockville, MD, clinic, cupping is an essential therapy for addressing chronic pain, tension, and circulation issues. Cupping involves applying heated or suctioned cups to the skin, creating a gentle vacuum that pulls the skin and muscle layer upward. This process releases tension, improves circulation, and encourages the body’s natural healing response.
