Cupping

​Cupping therapy is primarily used for musculo-skeletal disorders like sprains, strains, muscle spasms, etc. A vacuum is created by drawing air out of the cups while it is on the skin creating a suction effect. This action draws the skin upward into the cup helping to relieve congestion of blood and energy in the area where it is placed.

Guasha

​Guasha (gwa-sha) is a form of therapy which employs dermal friction and pressure to help relieve primarily musculo-skeletal disorders. A lubricant is placed on the skin. The guasha tool is run over the treatment area. It is very useful for tight muscles in the back. People often will feel a difference when they get off the treatment table.
