Massage Therapy w/Cupping
What is Cupping Therapy?
There is evidence of Cupping Therapy dating back to 3000 BC and used by the Ancient Egyptians as a form of Alternative Medicine. Nowadays, it's used more widely around the world for a multitude of different reasons. Cupping is a method of breaking up any blockage you may have in your body. It will help restore natural flow of energy by encouraging blood flow to allow for release of stagnate blood flow trapped inside your body.
Benefits to Cupping Therapy
Combining Massage Therapy and Cupping can help alleviate pain and inflammation, ridding the body of toxins and blood flow as well as assisting in deep tissue massage for the toughest of knots.
Side Effects of Cupping
Side Effects to Cupping are mild and you usually experience them during your cupping session. You may feel lightheaded, dizzy, nausea or sweating during your treatment. This is normal. Be sure to communicate anything you that makes you feel uncomfortable to your Therapist. Bruising at the application site is likely, but should clear up within 5-7 days.
