Massage Therapy- Cupping Therapy

Cupping is a modality that is rooted in Traditional Chinese medicine and can often be added to a massage treatment. The technique can use silicone, plastic or glass cups and creates a vacuum seal on the skin in particular areas of the body. The suction of the cups on the skin can help to increase blood flow, help to break up adhesions and helps the overall healing process. Cupping can help with a variety of muscle and joint disorders, such as repetitive stress injuries, muscles adhesions, as well as enhance blood flow. Cups can be used on the back, neck arms legs, but there are some areas where cups CANNOT be used as well as some conditions when cupping is contraindicated. Depending on the source of the pain, clients often report improved mobility and decreased tension injured areas of the body after a cupping session.
