Reflexology is a form of bodywork that involves applying pressure to the hands and feet to produce changes in pain and other benefits elsewhere in the body.

Cupping Benefits

This may relieve muscle tension, which can improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair.
It may also help form new connective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue.
Cupping treatment involves warming and placing cups, usually made of glass, on the skin. By warming the air within the cup, a vacuum is created, and when it is applied to the skin, the tissue is drawn up into the cup.
