What is Cupping Therapy?

Cupping therapy has been used for centuries to help relieve pain, enhance circulation and support physical and emotional well-being. Here at Bodywork by Benna located in New Braunfels, TX, we are proud to offer this ancient healing modality to our clients.

Cupping therapy works by applying glass, plastic or bamboo cups to the skin, which is then suctioned onto the body. The suction created by the cups stimulates circulation, increases blood flow and helps release toxins, reduce inflammation and improve mobility. This type of therapy is particularly helpful for people suffering from back pain, neck pain, and other chronic musculoskeletal conditions.

One of the main benefits of cupping therapy is that it helps release tension in the muscles and connective tissue. The suction created by the cups loosens tight muscles, which can help reduce pain and improve range of motion. Cupping can help relax tight muscles to reduce inflammation and provide long-term relief.

In addition to relieving pain, cupping therapy can also help improve circulation, which is essential for good overall health. The increased circulation helps oxygenate the cells and reduce stress on the body. This can help improve energy levels and overall well-being.

Cupping therapy can also help improve the digestive system. The gentle suction can help stimulate digestion, reduce bloating and help improve nutrient absorption. This type of therapy can also help balance hormones, reduce fatigue and increase mental clarity.
