Cupping & Gua Sha
Cupping involves placing cups containing reduced air pressure (suction) on the skin. In traditional oriental medicine, cupping is a method of applying acupressure by creating a vacuum on the patient's skin. The therapy is used to dispel stagnant blood and lymph, thereby improving blood flow. It can be used to treat conditions such as the common cold, pneumonia, bronchitis. Cupping also is used on back, neck, shoulder and other areas to treat musculoskeletal conditions.
Gua Sha, literally means "to scrape away fever" in Chinese (more loosely, "to scrape away disease by allowing the disease to escape as sandy-looking objects through the skin"). It is an ancient medical treatment that uses a tool to gently scrape at the top layer of the skin to promote healing.
$40.00/treatment (time will vary)
