This month, I<br \/>\nwanted to share some information about one of my favourite hands-on<br \/>\ntreatments for muscle and joint concerns.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"il\">Cupping<\/span> is an ancient form of treatment, and one frequently used by<br \/>\nnaturopathic doctors and practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I<br \/>\nlike to describe <span class=\"il\">cupping<\/span> a bit like a \u201creverse massage\u201d \u2013 instead of<br \/>\npushing down on tissues, a vacuum is created in the cup, which is then<br \/>\nplaced on the skin. This causes the tissues to be pulled upward.<\/p>\n<p>There are numerous techniques that are used with <span class=\"il\">cupping<\/span>, but my favourite<br \/>\nby far is sliding <span class=\"il\">cupping<\/span>, in which the cup is slowly moved along your<br \/>\nmuscles. The technique can help increase circulation and lymphatic<br \/>\ndrainage in the area (and thus speed healing), as well as help to loosen<br \/>\nup muscle, fascia, and scar tissue, leaving you with better mobility and<br \/>\nimproved overall recovery. It\u2019s great as a standalone treatment, but it<br \/>\nalso can serve as a fantastic complement to your massage, acupuncture,<br \/>\nchiropractic, or infrared sauna treatments!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Book your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.appointment.com\/login.php\">appointment<\/a> to experience Slide Cupping with Dr. Sarah Today!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Naturopathic doctors are a pretty eclectic bunch \u2013 so much so that even our patients don\u2019t always know everything we have to offer!
