Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is a suction-based technique that helps release restricted fascia, improve tissue mobility, and increase local blood flow. By lifting and separating layers of tissue, cupping supports circulation and lymphatic movement, assisting the body in clearing metabolic waste and accumulated toxins. This approach can reduce muscular tension, enhance recovery, and improve overall tissue health. It is most often incorporated into massage sessions on target or problem areas,
What to Expect
Cupping may sometimes leave temporary red or purple marks on the skin, which are a normal response to increased circulation and tissue release. These marks are not bruises and typically fade within a few days to a week, depending on individual sensitivity and the level of restriction present. Their appearance often indicates areas of stagnation or fascial restriction and does not interfere with daily activities.
