Cupping Therapy in San Carlos: Unveiling the Ancient Secret to Modern Muscle Relief
Once marked by the distinctive circular patterns on Olympic athletes, cupping therapy has surged in popularity as a powerful modality for muscle recovery and detoxification. At San Carlos Day Spa, we are proud to offer expert cupping in San Carlos CA, integrating this ancient practice into our modern wellness services.
But what exactly is cupping? Using specialized cups, our therapists create a gentle suction on your skin. This action lifts the underlying tissue, which helps to:
-
Release Muscle Knots: Break up stubborn adhesions and relieve deep-seated tension often missed by surface-level pressure.
-
Increase Blood Flow: Draw fresh, oxygen-rich blood to targeted areas, accelerating the body's natural healing process.
-
Promote Drainage: Encourage the lymphatic system to flush out toxins and reduce inflammation.
While sometimes associated with temporary marks (which are not bruises but signs of increased circulation), the sensation is often described as a deep, satisfying release. We frequently combine cupping with massage or acupuncture for a synergistic effect, creating a comprehensive treatment for issues like sore shoulders, tight backs, or respiratory discomfort.
