Cupping therapy, an alternative approach, employs cups on the skin to generate suction. This suction lifts the skin and superficial muscle tissue into the cup, potentially leading to the formation of redness or bruising, referred to as “cupping marks.” The cups remain stationary for a few minutes or are shifted to address particular areas. All our therapists can seamlessly integrate cupping into any massage session.
Benefits of Cupping Therapy include:
- Pain relief: Cupping therapy is often used to alleviate musculoskeletal pain, including back pain, neck pain, and muscle tension. The suction created by the cups can help increase blood flow to the affected area, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.
- Improved circulation: Cupping therapy is believed to enhance blood flow and lymphatic drainage, which can help remove toxins from the body and improve overall circulation.
- Relaxation and stress relief: Many people find cupping therapy to be deeply relaxing and may experience a sense of calmness and well-being during and after a session.
- Muscle relaxation: The suction created by the cups can help relax tight muscles and release muscle tension, making it beneficial for athletes or individuals with muscle stiffness.
- Detoxification: Some proponents of cupping therapy claim that it can help detoxify the body by drawing out toxins and impurities through the skin. However, scientific evidence supporting this claim is limited.
Cupping is offered at no additional cost.
