Introduction to Cupping

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine that originated in Egypt, in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.
