The Art of Massage Cupping Therapy  

A wonderful ancient tool has found its place in the modern world of healing. Massage cupping evolved from the common practice of cupping therapy, and the incredible results that this simple treatment produces have truly impressed those who experience its subtle power. By creating suction and negative pressure, Massage Cupping therapy is used to soften tight muscles, tone attachments, loosen adhesions, lift connective tissue, bring hydration and blood flow to body tissues, and drain excess fluids and toxins by opening lymphatic pathways. Massage Cupping bodywork is versatile and can easily be modified to accomplish a range of techniques, from lymphatic drainage to deep tissue and fascial release. This complements many health modalities ranging from spa treatments to medical massage.

How is Massage Cupping therapy accomplished? The cup is positioned over the area of the body to be treated and suction is created using a vacuum gun or bulb. The more traditional method involves inserting a flame into a glass cup to create the vacuum. The suction level can range from light to heavy, and the movements performed by the therapist can be stimulating or sedating. 

What is Massage Cupping Therapy?

This unique brand of bodywork uses suction to lift tissue as the cup moves. Techniques are performed using manual cups.

• The movements and techniques stay within the boundaries of professional licensing and may be adapted to almost any modality that the therapist has training in.  

What is the difference between Massage Cupping and traditional Chinese cupping therapy?

ln Traditional Chinese Medicine, stationary cups are placed on the skin and left for a period of five to fifteen minutes, and the cups may also be moved over the area. The goal of Chinese cupping therapy is to move stagnation of blood and chi, disperse internal heat, and other applications based on Traditional Chinese Medical diagnostics. Traditional cupping therapies are also generally used in many cultures on both adults and children for respiratory conditions, pain relief and multiple other uses in home health care. 

Massage cupping therapy is a more commonly used tool for massage therapists and other healthcare practitioners. Before applying the cup, the therapist will administer oil or lotion to facilitate smooth movement. The entire back may be treated, including the neck, shoulders, middle and lower back, and sacral area. The hip and thigh areas may also be treated, and abdominal Massage Cupping bodywork feels just incredible. Almost every area of the body responds to this unique treatment.

How does Massage Cupping therapy feel?

What are the benefits of Massage Cupping?

Massage Cupping therapy is not an irritant to the skin or body. lt draws the inflammation out, yet does not add to it. The skin will turn red with strong movements, indicating that circulation has been brought to the surface. Application of Iiniments, analgesics, plant hydrosols and essential oil blends immediately after Massage Cupping bodywork will enable absorption of the product deep into the tissue. lncreased local blood supply to the muscles and skin will bring nourishment and allow for toxins to be carried away via the veins. Conditions of chronic and acute pain can be relieved with minimal discomfort and tense muscles softened quickly and easily. Massage Cupping therapy is wonderfully effective as an addition to a massage or other therapeutic service. 

Another effective application of Massage Cupping is in the treatment of cellulite. A very light suction provides drainage, while heavier application can be used to stimulate circulation and loosen adhesions or "dimpling." The thighs and hip region should be treated prior to a wrapping procedure to enhance the absorption of product.
