| Massage Cupping |
Cupping or vacuum therapy is as old as suction. Healers in cultures all over the world have used suction for thousands of years to treat bites, skin infections, lung congestion, etc. using a variety of devices from hollow reeds to glass cups. If you are familiar with cupping at all it's probably as practiced in Chinese Medicine. Cupping is safe, very effective and has a myriad of applications. For the most part massage therapy modalities are varieties of compression. The area is compressed with kneading, gliding strokes or static pressure. A vacuum therapy like cupping decompresses the skin, fascia and muscle. Decompression breaks adhesion, improves blood and lymph circulation, can help reduce scars and increase range of motion for a wide range of conditions.
Nancy has used massage cupping successfully on temporomandibular joint dysfunction, old ankle sprains, C-section scars, frozen shoulder and many other conditions.
