Massage cupping is a lesser- known treatment that is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. During a massage cupping session, small cups are placed on the skin to create suction. The suction in the cups causes the skin and superficial muscle layer to be lightly drawn into the cup loosening the muscles and tissue. This encourages lymph and blood flow, assists in the release of toxins, and sedates the nervous system. Cupping is one of the best deep tissue therapies available.
It is thought to affect tissues up to four inches deep to help treat pain , deep scar tissues in the muscles and connective tissue, muscle knots, and swelling. Unlike traditional massage which utilizes downward pressure, cupping uses a negative pressure to lift, open and release the musculature and connective tissue.
For most patients, this is a particularly relaxing and relieving sensation. The cups are generally left in place for minutes while the patient relaxes. Grab your significant other, best friend, or favorite family member and book an unforgettable event.
Prenatal massage has many benefits for both mother and baby. It can reduce stress, tension and anxiety, relieve muscle and joint pain, reduce swelling, strengthen the immune system, and improve digestion. Recent studies from the Touch Research Institute TRI indicate that pregnancy massage provides more than just symptom relief for the mother. In this study pregnant women were given either massage or relaxation therapy during a five-week study.
