Acupressure and acupuncture are believed to have originated close to 3,000 years ago in China. Archeological discoveries have revealed that flat stones and pearls used with finger pressure were the first types of acupressure tools, while longish sharpened bones and teeth were the very first acupuncture needles, followed by sculpted stones, bamboo stalks, clay pottery and metal needles made from bronze and gold. Each prototype was either inserted into or pressed onto acupoints designated for healing a specific ailment. In modern times, locations and indications for acupoint usage have remained the same, while acupuncture needles are now stainless steel and acupressure tools are generally developed from gemstones, plastic or wood. However, there are phenomenal devices as the one displayed here, that can presently offer alternatives to the treatment of muscular skeletal disorders and can be held superior in the nature of its therapeutic delivery.

Frozen shoulder, back pain and severe cramps or headaches are examples of the conditions that can be precisely alleviated by sending pulsations, similar to that of a Tens Unit, to treat such areas of destress using the skill sets, rehabilitative results and power derived from thousands of years of practical knowledge from acupoint applications.

Those were replaced over millennia by glass cups with flames placed inside that when blown out, created a suction effect. The modernized cupping system shown here, uses medical grade plastic cups with air pumps, for stationary suction that securely lifts compromised tissue and constrained fascia to help eliminate pain and significantly promote cellular repair. Silicone Cups for moving motions that boost blood and lymph circulation, as well as open meridian pathways for improved Qi flow are also available.
