Cupping massage is an ancient, non-invasive technique using glass, silicone, or plastic cups to create negative pressure (suction) on the skin, enhancing blood flow, reducing muscle tension, and promoting healing. Often used for back pain, deep tissue therapy, and recovery, it works by separating fascial layers and improving circulation.
Pain Relief: Effective for muscle soreness, back pain, neck pain, and headaches.
Improved Circulation: Enhances blood and lymphatic flow to specific areas.
Musculoskeletal Issues: Aids in treating tendinitis, sprains, and trigger points.
Tissue Health: Promotes muscle recovery and improves tissue mobility.
Side Effects: Temporary skin discolouration (bruising), skin irritation, or mild pain.
Contraindications: Avoid if you have skin infections, open wounds, burns, or bleeding disorders.
Precautions: It is generally recommended to avoid cupping over the abdomen and lower back during pregnancy.
Aftercare: Drink plenty of water and avoid strenuous activity immediately after.
