Cupping Melbourne – How It Works

Cupping therapy is a form of therapeutic treatment that uses suction and negative pressure to manipulate the soft tissue and muscles of the body. The suction created by the cups helps to loosen adhesions, lift connective tissue, and improve blood flow to the areas being treated.
