Cupping is a great avenue in massage therapy as it almost works miracles on the body. This modality allows your body to realign on its own with a little help from the cups. Cupping has been around for a very long time, there are several different options in cupping but i offer plastic and silicone cups. Negative pressure is our friend in this modality.Cupping is great for increased blood flow, fascia work and deep muscles release. The clients that have had cupping done have noticed their flexibility has increased due to the lack of resistance in the fascia after the cupping has done its job. There is a side effect of cupping and that is dark marks where the stagnant blood sits (cup kisses) until your lymph can carry it away.
