What is Massage Cupping?
Massage Cupping is used in combination with massage movements by lifting a drawing tissue up into the cup to help separate the muscles and connective tissue, releasing adhesions in the fascia, and restoring healthy circulation to the different muscle layers. Often referred to as “deep tissue in reverse”- I find that clients are able to receive more negative pressure comfortably and the muscles continue to release after the massage more than without cupping. MC stimulates the body’s natural healing abilities and activates the immune system. The cup suction relaxes and warms the muscles and activates the “parasympathetic” aka “the relax feel good” nervous system. People find it very relaxing and effective to treat their tensions. I use a combination of glass cups as well as warm silicone cups to enhance your bodywork experience.
