Cupping

Cupping is a traditional, time-honored treatment used worldwide. It is safe, comfortable and remarkably effective for many health disorders. The use of suction, rather than compression can be effective for myofascial release, joint mobilization, lymphatic drainage, soft tissue release, and for the release of stagnation and toxins locked in muscle tissue. Combine with any other massage or use alone. Sessions are 60-120 minutes.

Bio-magnetic Cupping

 

Using a combination of silicone and bio-magnetic cups create a grid on the back to facilitate healing, detoxification, energy realignment, and deep relaxation of the musculature of the back, neck and shoulders. This is also an excellent treatment for congestion and lung involved ailments.

Cupping Marks

 

After cupping marks, not bruises can appear. These marks indicate toxins, deep injuries, and tension that is released. Brought to the skin by suction, it is now able to be processed by the lymphatic system and swept away. The marks will not turn colors like a bruise, but will fade.

Cupping for Orthopedic conditions


Creating space, easing hard tissue and opening up nerve pathways are some of the benefits of cupping. Used in orthopedic conditions it is very effective to increase range of motion. Once the cups are in place gentle joint mobilization can increase range of motion and decrease stiffness and pain.
