Cupping therapy utilizes negative pressure, rather than tissue compression, for superior results in a wide array of body work techniques. It’s safe, comfortable and gives remarkable results.
By creating suction and negative pressure (a vacuum), cupping therapy lifts connective tissue, releases rigid tissue and loosens adhesions. Cupping pulls stagnated blood and waste to the skin level where it can be easily flushed out by the lymphatic and circulatory system.
Cupping techniques bring blood flow and nutrition to stagnate areas. The pulling action engages the nervous system thus allowing deep relaxation throughout the entire body.
They are not bruises! The are metabolic waste, blood and other stagnant material that have been freed from the underlying tissue and brought to the surface where they can more easily be flushed away. These marks can last anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks and should not be tender to the touch.
