Cupping

Service Description

Cupping is very relaxing and generally not painful. It’s essentially a type of deep tissue massage that uses counter-pressure to work into the muscle and fascia to facilitate blood flow. The cups are incorporated into the massage treatment and are placed on the muscles and as well used with a gliding technique. The sensation that is experienced is a pulling of the skin as the cup is moved in a rolling fashion. Redness or a feeling of warmth is usually experienced after the release of the cup due to increased blood flow to the area. The benefits of using the cupping technique in massage sessions are to release scar tissue and fascial adhesions, reduce painful trigger points, improve circulation, lymph circulation, relieve pain, promote mobility and range of motion.
