CUPPING MASSAGE

---

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage. While massage is performed by applying pressure, cupping instead uses negative pressure to pull, lift, open and expand the body’s soft tissues.

A more modern version of cupping uses a rubber pump instead of fire to create the vacuum inside the cup. Sometimes therapists use silicone cups, which they can move from place to place on your skin for a massage-like effect.

Cupping therapy is used to decompress and release adhesion’s, scar tissue, relax muscles in spasm, decrease trigger point pain, decrease tissue changes and inflammation following trauma; improving circulatory deficiencies resulting in stimulating fibroblasts which increases collagen.  Collagen is found mostly in fibrous tissues such as tendons, ligaments, muscles, and skin which is cupping is highly recommended by healthcare professionals for soft tissue injuries, sprains, strains, spasm, face lifting, tightening, plumping and to help with other surgical scars, burn scars and much more!
