Now you’re probably familiar with the therapeutic benefits of Deep Tissue Massage and how it loosens knots, increases range of motion, reduces pain and inflammation. When Cupping is added to the massage session, we are able to get even faster results with less pain. Cupping along the spine stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system to producing a relaxing and sedating effect on the recipient, and it’s not uncommon for them to fall asleep. When treating clients who suffer with low back pain, the silicone cups allows to go deep without causing clients much pain/disconfort. Cupping has been around for thousands of years and involves suction, also known as negative pressure. The silicone cups literally become an extension of the hands of the therapist, allowing him/her to decompress and create negative pressure, which seamlessly lifts and releases muscle adhesions versus performing the classic compression of massage. Achieving these profound therapeutic results is simply not possible with hands alone. It’s said that 5 minutes of cupping is equivalent to 30 minutes of a deep tissue massage. Toxic feelings of anxiety and stress are literally lifted up and away.
