Cupping for Detox or Sports Massage and Clinical Massage Therapy
Massage Cupping is a modern adaptation of the ancient art of cupping therapy. While massage performed by applying pressure, cupping instead uses negative pressure to pull, lift, open and expand the body’s soft tissues and fascia. Cupping can stimulate the healing response, revitalize the tissues with blood flow, and help remove toxins for faster recovery.
Cupping helps to remove harmful substances and toxins from the body to promote healing.
As a spa therapy designed to promote body wellness through detoxification, circulatory massage, cupping and lymphatic massage are used to pull toxins from the deeper tissues of the body and circulate out with lymphatic massage. Through detoxification, circulation and stimulation of the healing response, cupping may help the body metabolize fat and cellulite.
Benefits of Cupping Therapy:
- boost circulation of blood and lymph
- relieve tension
- flush swelling & toxins out
- firm the skin
- stimulate the body’s healing response
