This therapy uses negative pressure, instead of tissue compression (typical massage work), for impressive results in a wide array of bodywork techniques. When suction & negative pressure is created, cupping therapy, it causes the release of rigid soft tissue, drains excess fluids & toxins, loosens adhesions, lifts connective tissue, & brings blood flow to stagnant skin & muscles.
Cupping pulls stagnation out of tissues & brings the skin to proper level. Pores expand & discharge waste, & the rest then is more accessible to the body’s circulatory lymphatic systems where it can be properly flushed out. This is what many times looks like “round bruises” which is really just debris that rise to the surface & are released through the lymph nodes.
Cupping Therapy is great for the back, cellulite area – including glutes/thighs/hips/legs, anterior thoracic & abdominals, upper/lower arms, & posterior neck from the anterior position. Remember discolorations are not bruises at all. Rather they are when circulation is compromised or sluggish in an injured or dis-eased area.
Cupping can be done for the following reasons:
- Reduce inflammation
- Promote faster healing; promoting blood flow
- Detoxification
- Pain relief
- Relaxation
- A form of deep tissue work
Cupping is perfect for:
- Current athletes or someone with past sports injuries that still linger
- Someone with poor posture who needs better range of motion in their shoulders and back
- People working at a desk all day
- Commuters
- Injury recovery
- Scoliosis (providing relief at the muscle attachment sites on the sides of the spine helps with the pain caused by Scoliosis; cupping cannot cure Scoliosis).
- Someone who needs deeper massage work
