Fire cupping and gua sha are traditional techniques rooted in Chinese medicine that work with the fascia and soft tissue to release restriction and improve circulation. Fire cupping uses glass cups to create suction that gently lifts and separates the tissue, while gua sha uses a smooth tool to glide along the body and break up areas of stagnation.
Together these techniques help bring fresh blood flow to the area, support tissue health, and encourage the body to release patterns of chronic tension so movement can return more naturally.
