We practice the ancient, holistic technique of Cupping, also known as Hijama, at V Cure Cupping Therapy & Massage. In practice cupping can sound a little scary as it requires the burning of air in glass cups, which are then stuck to the skin thanks to the vacuum effect this process creates. The goal is to stimulate blood flow and enhance patient wellbeing, and when performed by skilled practitioners, cupping is painless to the point that some people find it to be a pleasant experience.
There are also a variety of ways you may benefit from the cupping techniques that our team has spent years perfecting, including the ones listed below.
Increasing the Flow of Energy
For many years, Hijama has been utilized to enhance the flow of energy through the bloodstream, allowing poisons to be discovered in the process. In technical terms, the cupping procedure stimulates capillaries, which is where the red markings associated with the method come from, therefore increasing circulation and allowing blood to flow to the cupped areas.
Decreased Fatigue
More oxygen moves around the body as a result of increased circulation, which strengthens muscles and ensures they have everything they need to work at a higher level for longer periods of time. This is why so many Olympic competitors, including Michael Phelps, have started employing the approach. Cupping can be used to assist speed up the recovery process after minor injuries or to ease aches and pains after a long workout by increasing the amount of oxygen delivered to the muscles.
Immune System Boosting
Again, it boils back to the circulation advantages of cupping. Cupping guarantees that the immune system is reinforced by all of the white blood cells it requires to tackle various disorders such as colds and the flu by boosting the flow of blood to various parts of the body. While it is not a treatment for such ailments, it does work to strengthen your defenses, making the impacts of the sickness less severe and your recovery period shorter.
Relaxation
Cupping has also been used for many years to calm the nervous system, which means it is great for persons who suffer from hypertension, or high blood pressure. Hypertension has been related to a range of diseases, most notably heart disease, and many people spend their life attempting to control their blood pressure in order to prevent the myriad consequences that come with the condition.
Relieving Muscular Pain
Several Olympians were mentioned during the 2016 games as indicating that cupping helped them relieve discomfort caused by continual training and competing. In many aspects, the method is comparable to massage in that both focus on calming muscles and maintaining appropriate blood flow. As a result, it is an excellent alternative for individuals who suffer from muscle discomfort.
