How It Works

In a Glass Fire Cupping treatment, medical cups are placed onto the skin, and suction is created by heat, pulling the skin and fascia up and away from the underlying muscles. Cupping pulls the muscles and tissues away from the body, spreads and releases the fascia, alleviating muscle tension and tightness.

Cupping works by creating a local microtrauma, which signals the body to send fresh blood and oxygen to the muscles and tissues affected, facilitating healing and regeneration. Cupping also causes local inflammation, which triggers the immune system to produce cytokines (small proteins that enhance communication between cells) which help regulate the immune response.

Glass Fire Cupping treats a variety of conditions related to pain and tension. Neck pain, back pain, and shoulder pain are some of the most common. Glass Fire Cupping is also used to strengthen the immune system and respiratory health. Glass Fire Cupping helps reduce anxiety, and facilitate detoxification within the body.
