Overview
Massage cupping is a technique that involves suction and negative pressure rather than traditional methods of tissue compression. Static and dynamic cupping techniques are incorporated into our therapeutic massage treatments to loosen adhesions, soften tight muscles, drain toxins, lift connective tissue (fascia), and increase blood flow. It relaxes the muscles, releases trigger points, improves lymphatic flow, increases local circulation, and releases scar tissue adhesion.
Static cupping therapy is when the cup is left in one place. During the dynamic cupping process, the cups are glided across different areas of the body in order to lift and separate tissue. Any discoloration or marks from cupping usually go away within 3 to 7 days.
