Chinese Fire Cupping is a modality that is used to increase blood circulation, relieve pain, break-up scar tissue, and myofacial release. Flame is used to create a vacuum in a glass cup that is placed on oiled skin. The cups may be left stationary or moved with a massage like technique. The suction used ranges from mild to deep/ heavy depending on the condition being treated. Gua Sha uses smooth tools scraped across oiled skin to breakup stagnation and increase micro-circulation. Gua Sha can be used to treat chronic pain, sports injuries, poor circulation, and repetitive use injuries. Note: Cupping and gua sha can leave discolorations on the skin that resemble bruises; while they are not painful they can last for many days after treatment.
