Cupping
Cupping is an ancient method that is becoming very popular with modern equipment and techniques. The cups, made of silicon or plastic, are either placed on the body and kept stationary or moved with the massage. The cups create a suction which draws up stagnant material or toxins, opens circulation of blood and lymph, and loosens the fascia. This all helps facilitate the healing of the body and produces more relaxed tissue. The cupping technique can be incorporated into the massage session on areas where it's most needed. It is important to drink plenty of water after a cupping session as this will help the body eliminate the toxins and promote faster recovery.
