For parents looking for acupressure to use during the birthing process, my colleague Dr Debra Betts has a lovely video you can download for a small fee on the google play store.

How does it work? Cupping works by using a flame to draw the oxygen out of the interior of the cup and then placing this on the body creating a vacuum effect. This draws the smaller blood vessels up with the tissue which can then leave bruising. It can be uncomfortable whilst the cups are in situ and there is a small risk of skin infection and burning.
