Acupuncture targets musculoskeletal pain. This therapy involves inserting fine needles into certain places on your body to stimulate healing and relieve pain. We take a holistic approach and not only do we focus on the area of your pain, but we also look for whole body health and wellbeing. That is true acupuncture therapy.
At Top Notch Bodyworks, we offer traditional Glass fire Cupping, available in both stationary and mobile forms. This ancient therapy, rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), involves using heat to placing glass cups on the skin to create a greater suction.
Glass cupping is the traditional method in TCM, known for providing superior suction, especially beneficial for mobile cupping. This method stretches tissue layers upward, creating space in the muscles and improving blood and fluid flow.
While massage uses compression strokes to relax muscles, cupping works by gently pulling the skin upward, enhancing circulation and facilitating deeper muscle relaxation. It’s an excellent alternative for those seeking a different approach to muscle tension relief.
Cupping is not recommended for individuals on blood thinners, those with bleeding disorders, or elderly individuals with fragile skin.
