Cupping Therapy is a modified version of the common cupping practice used in traditional Chinese medicine. Cupping Massage will help break down rigid tissue muscle and fascia and assists in the release of excess fluids and toxins. It also promotes blood flow and can help improve range of motion. The process involves the therapist putting special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction.
The process uses negative pressure suction to lift the soft tissues of the body. This is not fire cupping. Generally, patients get cupping for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage. After your session, the cups may leave a bruise or bruise-like marks on your treated areas, The colour and pattern of the marks depend on the level of stagnation in the area and can range from a bright red to a dark purple, usually lasting three days to a week sometimes a bit longer.
Once our clients understand what these marks are and feel the results, their concerns disappear, and they return for more sessions. Cups can be made out of silicone, rubber, glass, or even bamboo and can be left in place or moved along the body. Each session can last between minutes, depending on the area that requires treatment. Additional Information Your treatment time includes consultation and change time.
