Cupping is an ancient therapy that is still popular today. When applied to the skin, suction is created, which draws an increase in blood & qi (vital energy) to an area of injury or imbalance. Cupping draws toxins & disease out of the body & helps maintain good health. Cupping achieves excellent results for a broad range of disorders that therapists are called on by their clients to treat.
Cupping therapy causes tissues to release toxins, stimulate the lymphatic, skin, & circulatory systems, clear colon blockages, reduce stretch marks & improve varicose veins.
On the deeper therapeutic level, cupping is beneficial for many conditions including asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, anxiety, fatigue, headaches, fibromyalgia & neuralgia.
Cupping is a traditional, time-honoured treatment that remains favoured by millions of people worldwide because it's safe, comfortable, & remarkably effective for many health disorders. It's the use of suction, rather than compression, for bodywork ranging from myofascia release to lymphatic drainage & everything in between. Cupping rapidly facilitates rigid soft tissue release, loosens & lifts connective tissues, breaks up & drains stagnation while increasing blood & lymph flow to skin & muscles in ways not possible using compression.
When the cups move, negative pressure massage feels wonderful. The pulling action engages the parasympathetic nervous system, thus allowing a deep relaxation to move through the entire body. It is not unusual to fall asleep when receiving this treatment. People are often surprised at how relaxed, warm & light they feel for hours, sometimes even days, afterwards.
Bodywork: Suction therapy is the best form of bodywork available.
Traumatic injuries, stubborn & orthopedic conditions, deep tissue & sports massage, trigger points, lymphatic drainage, abdominal massage, neurological dysfunctions, myofascial release & reflexology. Cupping is especially exceptional in massage for health maintenance & relaxation.
Facial Cupping:
Women in Asia, Europe, & Russia have been using these remarkable negative pressure facial exercises for rejuvenation & maintenance for generations. Protocols for the face use the small cups to vacuum & lift the facial tissue & increasing the actions of lymphatic drainage. This method replicates the effects of equipment used in most aesthetic establishments. The benefits include increased circulation & nutrients brought to the skin & enchanced absorption of facial topicals. The drainage of stagnant fluids from stagnant areas will reduce edema & chronic puffiness. Lines, wrinkles, & scar tissue soften from cupping, making it an effective & surprisingly relaxing facial treatment.
Sinus infections & inflammation are also directly relieved by the loosening & draining effects of the cups, often resolving issues patients resort to more invasive procedures for relief.
