1. A Brief Overview Of Cupping Therapy Toronto

health is one priority that should feature on the list of most people who realize this fact that we
cannot enjoy a good life if we do not have a good health. This realization makes us open to
experience the varied health benefits of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Cupping Therapy
Toronto is one of its most effective alternative medicines to promote a healthy overall well-being.
You can take cupping as an opposite of massage because in massage we apply mild to heavy
pressure on different muscles whereas cupping involves placement of specially made glasses on our
skin. These glasses create vacuum and pull our skin,tissue, and muscles upward. Some people
combine cupping therapy with acupuncture but it is solely your wish. It is not that this will only
show positive results when used along with acupuncture but it can also be used alone and there will
be no difference in a way it benefits our health.
Cupping came into existence nearly five centuries ago in Egypt around 1550 B.C. and it gradually
spread to Asian and Eastern Civilizations. With changing times, its techniques have undergone a
significant change but its core philosophy remains the same. Cupping involves placement of glasses
that are made of earthenware, bamboo, or glass onto your skin(upside down) which create a vacuum
by suctioning out the air thereby raising an underlying tissue in upward direction into the cup. What
this inverse massage does is it improves blood circulation and helps in relieving the pain in our
muscles and tissues.
Some people are wary of Cupping Therapy Toronto because they feel that it causes pain and
itching but it is a false assumption. At most, you will a tight sensation in the area where the cup is
placed upside down on your skin but this will not cause any pain or itching. Rather, this sensation is
relaxing and soothing. Cups are placed for 5-20 minutes on your body depending on your health
condition. Treatment time can vary from session to session which also depends on the speed of
recovery of a patient. Your back is the most common area where cupping is used, although it works
equally well on other 'fleshy' areas of your body.
There are mainly two methods of cupping- “fixed” cupping and “moving” cupping. As its name
suggests, fixed cupping involves placement of specially made glasses on selected areas of your body
which are left there unmoved for a certain period of time. Moving cupping is exactly the opposite of
fixed cupping in which your practitioner applies lubricators on the selected areas of your skin and
then places suction cups on them. These cups are moved continuously on the selected area as your
skin surface is already lubricated to allow free movement of these cups.
If you are seeking relief from skin conditions, stress, pain, allergy, fatigue, flu, cold, back pain,
anxiety, etc, you can consider visiting your nearest osteopathy clinic to gather more information
about this ancient form of alternative medicine.
