Benefits of Cupping Massage
We love how complementary cupping is to massage, that’s why we have incorporated both into one stellar treatment. Helping a variety of issues, and spanning across several body systems. Here are just some of the benefits of Cupping Massage.
Contracted Muscles:
– Stretches muscle
– Flushes lactic acid and stagnant blood from acute and/or chronically contracted muscles
Soft Tissue:
– Decongests soft tissue, breaking up adhesions
– Stretches connective tissues
– Pulls blood supply to the skin
– Expels old blood and lymph fluid from soft tissue
Pain Management:
– Relieves back pain, as well as pain other conditions from sciatica to whiplash.
Immune System:
– Strengthens the immune system by promoting the flow of lymphatic fluid
– Cleans lymph and helps to balance PH levels
– Encourages a sufficient supply of nutrition and blood circulation to muscle tissues and skin tissues
Nervous System:
– The pulling action from the suction engages the parasympathetic nervous system, calming it and initiating a deep, body-wide relaxation
Contraindications of Cupping Massage
In cases of severe disestrongase (such as renal failure, cardiac failure, ascites, and extreme swelling), we advise against cupping. Cupping is also contraindicated in cases of hemorrhagic diseases such as allergic purpura, hemophilia and leukemia, as well as in cases of dermatosis, destruction of skin, and/or allergic dermatitis.
