Cupping massage is an ancient therapeutic practice that involves placing cups on the skin and then suctioned to create a vacuum effect. This suction gently lifts the skin and underlying tissue to help release muscle tension. Cupping helps to facilitate healing with blood flow, as well as the flow of “qi” or “energy” in traditional Chinese medicine. The cups can be made of various materials, including glass, bamboo, or silicone.
During a session, the therapist either leaves the cups stationary or moves them across the skin to provide a massage effect on specific muscle groups. Cupping helps to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, improve blood circulation, and promote relaxation and well-being. It’s used for various conditions, including muscle tension, chronic pain, respiratory issues, and stress. While generally considered safe, cupping can cause temporary marks on the skin where the cups were placed.
