Cupping Therapy for pain and tension relief

Why do we use cupping therapy in many of our massages?

Cupping therapy allows us to create more movement in the tissue of the back neck and shoulders by means of creating negative pressure. The suction pulls and lifts the tissue upwards away from the skeletal structure, which stretches and softens stiff areas.

Blood flow is increased in the areas where the cups are applied which acts as a detangler for knotted up muscle fibers.

Cupping therapy is an ancient practice that stems from traditional Chinese medicine. Their belief is that where ever there is a lack blood flow, illness may reside. We enhance blood flow within the body and by concentrating blood to stiff areas, they are made supple and mobility is enhanced.

These tools are beneficial to anyone who is dealing with pain, postural imbalance, stubborn tension or healing from an injury.

Cupping therapy can be incorporated into most of our massages and is offered by certain therapists at our studio.
