Cupping? What’s that?
Cupping therapy is an ancient practice rooted in traditional medicine and is used to promote healing and alleviate various ailments. During cupping, specialized cups are placed on the skin and create suction, drawing the skin and superficial muscle layer upwards into the cup. This process increases blood flow to the targeted area, stimulating healing and relieving muscle tension. Cupping therapy is often sought for its potential to reduce pain, improve blood circulation, and promote relaxation.
KT Taping
KT (Kinesiology Therapeutic) taping is a rehabilitative technique utilizing elastic adhesive tape to support muscles and joints, enhance circulation, and aid in the healing process. This specialized tape, designed to mimic the elasticity of human skin, is applied strategically to specific areas of the body to provide support without restricting movement. KT taping aims to alleviate discomfort, improve muscle function, and reduce swelling by gently lifting the skin, creating space between the tissues, and enhancing blood and lymphatic flow. This therapy is sought after for its potential to enhance athletic performance, manage various musculoskeletal conditions, and assist in post-injury rehabilitation by offering targeted support and promoting natural healing mechanisms.
