Cupping therapy is a rejuvenating process that involves the strategic placement of cups on specific areas of the body, utilizing the power of suction. This technique, also known as dry cupping, is highly favored by athletes and sports professionals due to its ability to re-energize muscles effectively.
Not only does dry cupping enhance overall muscle vitality, but it also serves as a skilled massage technique. With expert circular movements, the cups are skillfully maneuvered to loosen and stimulate tight or achy muscles, providing a relieving sensation.
