Cupping Therapy

SUCTION CUPPING

Suction cupping is a method of cupping used by sucking air through a valve in the cup, while the cup is on the skin, therefore creating a vacuum and ascertaining suction.  The cup stays in place for about 15 minutes.  A bruise may or may not appear on the skin as a result.  The bruising represents deeper tissues releasing toxins and renewed blood flow.

This form of suction releasing improves blood flow to the particular area, consequently releasing cutaneous and sub-cutaneous deep muscle bands knots and connective tissue.  Specific uses are for limited movement, chronic pain, scar tissue, corkers in the muscles, frozen shoulder, pre/post surgery.  The benefits are that it promotes healing, for old and recent injuries, and pain.

The cups may be moved across the skin slowy after the skin has been lubricated with oils.  This allows the release of more toxins and blood flow along the path of the where the cup is moved to.

Some comments from clients after a massage:

"The cups feel like they are really sucking stuff out of my body."

"It is great that they can work on specific areas to remove toxins and lumps."
