Have you added cupping to your massage lately? Cupping uses negative pressure (suction) to help relax the muscles which can provide pain relief and improve circulation. In combination with massage, you get the best of both worlds by having positive pressure from my hands & forearms, and then negative pressure from the cups to help with muscle tension.
Here is an example of healthy blood circulation from a client of mine who has been getting cupping regularly for a few years now. When we first started with cupping, her marks would be more on the purple side which indicates stagnation in the tissue. These marks will only last a few days and no pain is involved. It is exciting to see the improvement in my client and just further shows the power that massage therapy and cupping can provide with consistency!
