What Is Cupping Massage?

www.massage2book.com

Cupping massage is a technique that combines massage movements and negative pressure that is brought about with the help of some suction device. The cup is placed on the area that needs treatment, and the vacuum that is created will depend on the type of cup used. This will draw the underlying tissue and skin into the cup. This vacuum then creates a suction effect which further increases both lymphatic and blood circulation. It also helps to relax the muscle tissue in the area. Thus, through negative pressure and suction, a cupping massage will help to ease rigid soft tissue, drain excess fluid and toxins, tighten connective tissue, and loosen adhesions. It also helps to improve the flow of blood to the muscles and skin surface.

A cupping massage is an effective way to get rid of toxins from the body. When a vacuum is created in the cup, a negative pressure is applied. This pressure affects the tissues four inches below the skin’s surface, which helps in the release of toxins. The pressure is also effective in removing blockages in the various body systems like the circulatory system. A cupping massage also has therapeutic benefits like decreasing anxiety and depression. It is believed that the happy hormone ‘serotonin’ is released during the massage, which helps bring about relaxation.
