Cupping Therapy

Dr. Naylor has been trained in Cupping Therapy. A therapy popularized by Olympic swimming athlete, Michael Phelps, this technique is known as functional Chinese Cupping. This offers many benefits to patients including improved circulation, fascial release and muscle relaxation.

Silicone cups are applied to the muscles and surrounding joint surfaces creating a vacuum over the skin. The cups are applied for about 10 minutes, helping to decompress the tissue and stimulating neural reflexes and an endocrine response.

The therapy is pain free and easy to do. The resulting red circles or bruising that occur following the therapy are due to dilation of the surrounding capillaries and the effect of the cups bringing toxins to the surface of the skin. The red marks will subside in 2-3 days.
