Today I had my first cupping treatment after running the New York City Marathon. Dual-state licensed Acupuncturist, Donna performed the treatment at Georgia Louise Inc in Manhattan.
The suction marks left after having the treatment.
A cupping treatment creates negative pressure by using heat and glass cups to bring blood flow and nutrients to areas of tension. The pulling action draws toxins from the muscle tissues and helps remove the waste and build up of lactic acid in the muscles.
The glass cups are heated by an open torch causing the suction in the bauble which pulls the muscle fascia and draws out the toxins from stagnant areas.
My thighs after treatment, the red marks will change colour to appear like a bruise and can last from a couple hours to a couple weeks.
The treatment is performed in a relaxing and comfortable environment and only lasts about 30 minutes. It is a minimum time commitment with maximum results. I would definitely recommend this treatment after an athletic event or hard gym session.
