Cupping

Cupping can help promote circulation and relaxation for taut tissue, at the cost of leaving hickey style "cupping marks" that usually fade within several days, but may take up to a couple of weeks to disappear completely.

I have use several types of cups over the course of my practice, but I am most fond of the modern silicone cups for the control of suction intensity they afford. Fire cupping looks awesome, but is very all-or-nothing.
