Cupping Therapy
Often referred to as “reverse massage”, Cupping is an effective method to relieve muscle tension, reduce inflammation and improve blood circulation to painful areas of the body. Instead of applying pressure to the muscle, this form of massage therapy uses a gliding technique as well as the placement of cups along the meridians (lines of energy) on the body to create a suction that gently pulls the skin tissue upward to increase energy flow and release tension.
