Hi everyone, i have noticed that a few practitioner of TCM use Cupping alongside Tui Na massage to improve treatment.
Does any one use these forms together, and are the results worth using?
Many Thanks
INDO

Hi Indo,
Tui na therapists and acupuncturists should both be trained in the use of cupping - its a fundamental part of Chinese Medicine (as well a popular folk medicine all over the world) - It's very useful for local stagnation so can be used for pain and tense/knotted muscles. It also has the effect of 'drawing out pathogens' so is sometimes used on the back for common cold, flu, etc.
