Cupping Therapy
Cupping has been around for thousand of years but has become popular recently due it being a staple treatment from Olympians & Professional athletes to anyone looking for an alternate treatment for pain & recovery. Cupping is $10 on top of the massage price.
Why it's so effective?
By utilizing negative pressure & suction rather than compression, cupping has the ability to affect deeper connective tissue, rigid tissue & loosens adhesions. Also pulling stagnant blood & waste to the skin level where it can easily be flushed out by the lymphatic & circulatory system. It then brings blood flow & nutrition to the stagnant areas.
Is it painful?
No, You will feel a slight pulling action which engages the parasympathetic nervous system, allowing deep relaxation throughout your entire body.
What are the marks?
They are NOT bruises, they are metabolic waste & stagnant material that has been freed from underlying tissue & brought to the surface where they can more easily flushed away. These marks can last from a couple hours up to a couple weeks.
