Cupping Therapy is a modern adaptation of the ancient form of alternative medicine. While massage performed by applying pressure, cupping instead uses negative pressure to pull, lift, open and expand the body’s soft tissues. Using cups to create mild suction, this form of therapy helps with pain, inflammation, blood flow, remove toxins, bacteria from the body, encourages lymph drain, promote relaxation and healing.
There are different types of methods used, here at Restorative Massage Therapy we use hard plastic cups with manual pump and silicone cups to create suction. During the treatment the trained professional will use either methods as needed to glide along the body creating a massage-like effect or be left in place for up to 2 minutes. Cupping is fairly safe but there is a high chance your skin will show some temporary bruising from this type of therapy.
We offer 30 min Cupping Therapy sessions as its own treatment. Below is a treatment that has been designed to utilize cupping therapy within therapeutic massage. Upon request, cupping can also be added to any other treatment such as deep tissue, sports massage, myofascial release, trigger point, medical massage or our signature restorative massage treatments where several techniques will be used for result driven treatment
