Cupping Massages

Cupping massage is a type of therapeutic massage that uses special cups made of glass, silicone, or plastic to create suction on the skin. The cups are placed on the skin and suction is created by either heating the air inside the cup or using a pump to create a vacuum.

The suction created by the cups can help to increase blood flow and stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. Cupping massage can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including muscle pain, joint pain, inflammation, and tension.

During a cupping massage session, the cups are placed on the skin in specific areas of the body, typically along the back, shoulders, and neck. The cups are left in place for a few minutes and then removed. The massage therapist may also move the cups around on the skin to create a massage-like effect.

Cupping massage is generally safe and well-tolerated, but it’s important to note that it may leave temporary marks or bruises on the skin. These marks usually fade within a few days to a week.

It’s also worth noting that cupping massage may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with certain medical conditions such as skin conditions, bleeding disorders, or pregnancy. It’s always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider before trying any new type of massage therapy.
