what is cupping?
This therapy uses silicone cups, vacuum cups or glass cups to do the job. Cupping is a bodywork technique that employs negative pressure or suction on the soft tissues and muscles to lift and create space within your fascia and muscle fibers. It feels wonderful on your neck, back, glutes, legs and arms - essentially the entire body!
Loosens adhesions and restrictions allowing for more range of motion
Brings blood and lymph flow to stagnant areas thus decreasing your pain level
Drains excess fluids and reduces swelling; removes toxins
Engages your parasympathetic nervous system allowing your body to relax deeply
This healing modality is one of the oldest forms of medical treatments dating back to the ancient Egyptians, Chinese, Greeks, Romans, Persians, Africans, Aztecs and more.
Those marks are NOT bruises as no damage was inflicted upon the blood
vessels. These marks are the vestiges of toxins, cell waste, stagnant lymph, and blood. They fade away within a few hours to two weeks. The colors range from light pink to dark red and purple.
No. Under the hands of a skilled therapist, your cupping session should feel good!
Frequently Asked Questions
The session begins with a detailed discussion about your complaint, relevant health history and your goals. When applicable, I will assess for your posture for imbalances in your pelvis, ankles, knees, shoulders. We also work to repattern your muscles towards optimizing your posture when sitting, standing and moving. The techniques you will learn will strengthen your intrinsic core muscles and when practiced will naturally be integrated into your daily life and repattern your body. A portion of the session includes therapeutic massage, cupping, gua-sha, trigger point techniques stretching, etc. At times, a session is comprised of only massage and bodywork.
Generally, you can expect 4-6 sessions to resolve one specific complaint provided you keep up with doing your exercises.
