Practitioners use cupping therapy to restore the Yin-Yang energy balance for people with severe or chronic Yin deficiency. As such cupping addresses a wide array of conditions including fevers, chronic night sweats, stagnant blood to specific areas of the body, etc.
Cupping has a therapeutic effect and removes unspecified toxins, and restores “vital energy” when used over acupuncture points with the goal of improving blood circulation
Modern suction devices are sometimes used instead of the traditional glass cups.
These are some of the common conditions that Cupping can treat.
I've been seeing Ben for 7 years and in that time, I've struggled with several overuse injuries/pain from long distance running and triathlons. Whether it's hip pain, hamstring pain, knee pain, Achilles/heel pain, shoulder pain, Ben has addressed it all. His ability to pinpoint pain and release it (usually with 1 or 2 visits) is beyond compare.
He takes time to educate me during each session which helps me understand the root cause so I can watch for re-injury. His dedication to his own education and growth keeps him on top of new techniques to try which makes each visit unique and tailored to what I need. Even after 7 years, I leave each visit with insight about my body and another recommendation to try at home. I can't imagine being able to continue to train the amount I do without Ben as a part of my recovery process.
Ben is an amazing healer! With his expertise in a multitude of healing approaches, he is able to use his experience and healing gift to help you recover from many complicated ailments that other practitioners fail at. He is one of the most dedicated, caring and compassionate people I know and I highly recommend Ben for a partner on your healing team.
I'm a marketing professional and a cycling enthusiast. Ben has worked with me on low back and neck pain and I always come away from our sessions with relaxed muscles and reduced pain. He's also helped me work through some issues related to stress and excessive antibiotic use. He has an extremely calming demeanor and has a special touch when working on my trouble spots. His knowledge of the human body and how all its systems work together is truly amazing.
