Body Cupping & Massage Therapy

Service Description

Cupping is a therapeutic practice used at Ayurveda Wellness Katy that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. This traditional technique, rooted in Chinese medicine, has been practiced for centuries and is known for promoting blood circulation, reducing muscle tension, and stimulating energy flow in the body. The cups can be made of glass, bamboo, or silicone, depending on the method used at Ayurveda Wellness Katy. The cupping process involves heating the air inside the cup to create a vacuum before placing it on the skin. This suction draws the skin and underlying tissue into the cup, providing therapeutic benefits. At Ayurveda Wellness Katy, body cupping may include light massage to enhance the experience. There are different forms of cupping available at Ayurveda Wellness Katy, including dry cupping and wet cupping. In dry cupping, the cups are applied without making incisions, while wet cupping involves making small incisions on the skin before applying the cups, allowing a small amount of blood to be drawn. Cupping is often used as a complementary therapy for conditions like pain, inflammation, and respiratory issues. While cupping has a long history, its effectiveness and safety can vary, so it's important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional before trying cupping therapy.
