Cupping at Kiva Therapeutics Day Spa

We offer Cupping Therapy! 

Cupping is a therapy in which  cups are applied to the skin along the meridians of the body, creating suction as a way of stimulating the flow of energy.  The cup is usually left in place for somewhere between five and fifteen minutes. It is believed by some to help treat pain, deep scar tissues in the muscles and connective tissue, muscle knots, and swelling.  We only do dry cupping therapy.  You may wonder what the marks are all about after a cupping session.  Cupping causes the skin to temporarily turn red, blue or purple, especially if there is an injury or energetic blockage under the area that was cupped. The skin discoloration can last anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, but is rarely painful. Once the marks have cleared, the procedure can be repeated until the condition or ailment is resolved.  Typically the darker the mark, the deeper the stagnation of the muscle.  If you are an athlete, you will most likely recognize the feeling of deep tension in highly trained muscles.  Use cupping to release tension and improve performance!  You can also use cupping to reduce facial lines, double chins, and reduce the appearance sagging and congested skin.  Cupping Therapy on the face is performed to not leave marks, so you need not be afraid of trying it!  Schedule your appointment with Carl and save $10 through December 2016!
