Traditional Thai Massage with my friend Rena at her beautiful studio in Tokyo. ✨

We met last summer at a meditation meetup in Tokyo, and stayed in touch. Rena studied Thai Massage at Itmschoolthailand, and her experience is one of the reasons I chose this program! And this year, after a month in Chiang Mai, Thailand, I had the opportunity to come back and share what I’ve learned. 🐸

My August schedule in Philadelphia at PT, Personal Training, Massage | Shockwave, TMJ, Lymphatic is open for booking! 🌙

Cupping can help reduce muscle tightness, improve mobility, and support healthy tissue function. The suction from the cups gently lifts the skin and fascia, which can help relieve areas that feel “stuck” or stiff, and release fascial adhesions that limit mobility. (Fascia is a thin, web-like layer of connective tissue that surrounds and weaves through muscles, tendons, and organs, holding everything in place while allowing movement. It’s strong yet flexible, similar to a spiderweb or cling wrap, adapting to the body’s movements but tightening when stressed.)

While cupping primarily affects fascia, it can also create a decompression effect on the muscles underneath. This helps tissues move more freely, encourages blood flow, and allows muscles to recover more efficiently.

In the context of a deep tissue massage, applying cups can help unlock very tight fascia to allow for deeper muscle work. I use them a lot! Ask about it during your next session ✨

Cupping therapy has been used for thousands of years- dating back to ancient Egypt!
