What is Cupping?
Cupping Therapy is one of the oldest modalities in the massage therapy practice. It is believed to have been used by the ancient Egyptians in 1500 BCE. Therapists all around the world use this myofascial release method to increase mobility in the tissue to help with pain, range of motion, and overall well-being.
How does it work?
In my practice, acrylic cups are placed on the skin in an area where the tissues feel "sticky" or where my client is experiencing pain. I then connect the pump to the cup which creates the suction needed to pull the tissue up and away from the muscles.
What does it help?
Cupping can help loosen up tense or tight tissue, which can make it easier for your therapist to reach deep muscle groups. Cupping is also known for helping release trigger point pains, increasing blood circulation, oxygen flow throughout the body, and promoting a healthy immune system.
Should I try it?
Absolutely! Cupping therapy is great for athletes, moms, dads, students, and anyone else who experiences tightness. Cupping does, however, leave harmless marks, so it is probably best to not get it done the day before your wedding day. Book your cupping session with me today!
