“I was apprehensive about cupping when I first heard about it. Now I can’t get a massage without it! It is, without a doubt, one of the greatest feelings. Cupping literally changed my life!”
What is Cupping
Massage Cupping utilizes suction to release tight muscles and tissues. It is an amazing adjunct to deeper work, allowing the techniques to be more effective, more quickly. I use silicone cups in my practice.
Moving Cupping
Moving Cupping is the gliding of a cup over an area as a warm up to loosen the tissue in a more thorough, faster way than hands are able to. Along with its utility, people often say that it feels amazing, too.
Stationary Cupping
Stationary Cupping is the placement of cups on specific, targeted points to keep a steady suction, which allows tighter tissues and trigger points to slowly loosen up. While cups are placed on the body, massage is performed in another area, so two places are effectively being treated at once. Stationary Cupping can leave marks, which go away in 2-7 days typically and are just aesthetic- nothing to worry about!
What does that look like in session?
Cupping in a massage is incorporated seamlessly and feels naturally integrated. Moving Cupping would start the back segment to warm up and loosen the entire area. Cups might then be placed on strategic points on the upper left shoulder , while the right portion of the back is massaged by hand. Then the opposite side. Every session is different so this is just an example. $8, try it free
