CUPPING THERAPY

Cupping Therapy has been used for centuries across different continents for healing and has been brought into the 21st century by modernising its use for modern day Western clients and their conditions.

This therapy involves the use of warm suction glass jars on an oiled body as a therapeutic massage system, designed to treat a wide range of physical problems from pain and muscle spasms to cellulite, colds and flu.

This therapy offers a fantastic potential to the sports orientated client, strong athletes and for sports injuries.

 

Oil is applied to the body with massage strokes to loosen up the tissues; the warmed cups are then applied to the part of the body to be treated, creating a vacuum, and moved in particular ways to produce a deeply healing, stimulating and drawing massage.

The suction and warmth has a dramatic effect on the immune system of the body by moving blood and lymph and stimulating the muscle and spinal nerves. Cupping is applied to the back, shoulders, legs and stomach to aid a variety of conditions.

Each treatment can last between 30 and 45 minutes.

NOTE: Skin colour changes will be visible, however, this is not the same as the Chinese cupping techniques where clients are left with very heavy bruising and marking to the skin ~ it is designed for treatments applied to the more sensitive Western clientele. Therefore skin colour changes will be slight and not as long lasting.
