45 Minute Cupping

Description

The combination of massage movements and negative pressure with the use of a suction device on the skin. A cup is positioned at the area to be treated and, depending on the type of cups being used; a vacuum is created within the cup to draw the skin and underlying tissue into the cup. The produced vacuum creates a suction effect that increases blood and lymphatic circulation systemically and to the local area, relaxes muscle tissue and support, and can help with pain. Suction along with the movements performed and areas treated by the therapist will produce stimulating (toning) or sedating (draining) effects.
