Cupping Therapy Services in Brookfield & Mequon, WI

What is Cupping Therapy?

Cupping therapy is a form of alternative medicine that involves the use of suction cups applied to the skin to create a vacuum. The suction from the cups stimulates the flow of blood and other body fluids, relieves muscle tension, and promotes overall healing and wellness. The practice of cupping therapy has been used for thousands of years and originated in ancient Chinese medicine. Today, it is still used in various cultures and regions around the world and can be performed using different techniques and tools such as glass, silicone, or bamboo cups. While the procedure often causes slight bruising, the suction can be adjusted to be gentle or strong, depending on the intended therapeutic effect.

Conditions Treated by Cupping Therapy

MEND Studios in Southeastern Wisconsin offers cupping therapy to treat a variety of conditions such as muscle tension and aches, inflammation, arthritis, and respiratory problems. Our skilled practitioners use suction cups to promote natural healing and relieve pain and tension throughout the body.

Cupping therapy has been used to treat several conditions, including:

• Anemia: By increasing blood flow, cupping therapy may help to improve the oxygenation of tissues, potentially reducing symptoms of anemia.
• Hemophilia: By increasing blood flow, cupping therapy may help to improve the healing process in people with hemophilia.
• Arthritis: Cupping therapy is believed to help relieve arthritis symptoms by increasing blood flow to the affected joints, promoting relaxation, and reducing muscle tension. The suction from the cups can also help to relieve pain and stiffness by stimulating the production of natural painkillers in the body.
• Fibromyalgia: Cupping therapy is believed to help relieve fibromyalgia symptoms by increasing blood flow and circulation, promoting relaxation, and reducing muscle tension.
• Inflammation: The suction created by the cups is believed to stimulate the production of anti-inflammatory molecules in the body, reducing pain and swelling.
• Energy blockage: In traditional Chinese medicine, cupping therapy is believed to help treat energy blockages by improving the flow of Qi, the vital energy believed to regulate physical and emotional well-being. By creating suction, the cups are thought to stimulate the flow of Qi, breaking up blockages and promoting overall balance in the body.
