Cupping Massage

CLEAR TOXINS WITH CUPPING


Clear toxins from the body at a deeper level and improve your immunity with a dry cupping massage.


You may have seen the tell tale dark red circles on someone’s back and wondered why on earth anyone would bother with ‘cupping’, but the number of positive effects that can be achieved may change your mind.


Cupping therapy has been used by Egyptian, Chinese, Middle Eastern and Roman cultures for over 5500 years to safely and effectively draw toxins from the body. It was used as a way to, “pull out evil”, from the body promoting the free flow of Qi and blood, removing pathogenic factors like wind, cold and damp, dredging channels and releasing blocked Qi and blood and venting heat to promote recovery from illness.


HOW IT WORKS

At Kinesiology Co., we use a moving dry cupping method, placing silicone cups on

the skin to create suction and moving them to provide a massage effect. The cups are adjustable, so rather than feeling painful, the massage feels deeply therapeutic and relaxing.

In addition, the suction effect helps to break up tissue adhesions, increase circulation, stretch the connective tissue, remove toxins and relaxes the nervous system.


This type of massage may or may not leave marks that will fade in colour after a few days, depending on the level of pressure used and the amount of toxins that need to be cleared.


WHY CUPPING

Incorporating cupping massage into your wellness routine can provide:


Relief from Chronic Pain

Cupping massage is highly effective in alleviating chronic pain conditions such as back pain, neck pain, and arthritis. The suction created by the cups helps increase blood flow to the affected area, reduce inflammation, and release muscle tension.


Detoxification of the Body

The suction effect of cupping draws out toxins from the body, promoting detoxification. This can lead to improved overall health, clearer skin, and a strengthened immune system.


Improved Circulation

Cupping massage boosts circulation, ensuring that oxygen and nutrients are more effectively delivered to tissues throughout the body. This can aid in healing, reduce fatigue, and improve overall vitality.


Support for the Immune System

Enhanced circulation and detoxification support the immune system, helping the body to fight off infections and illnesses more effectively. Regular cupping sessions can contribute to a stronger immune response.


Reduction of Stress and Anxiety

The relaxation induced by a cupping massage can significantly reduce stress and anxiety levels. By easing muscle tension and promoting a sense of calm, cupping can help improve mental well-being.


Better Skin Health

Cupping massage can improve skin health by increasing blood flow and stimulating the lymphatic system. It can help reduce the appearance of cellulite and improve skin tone.


Enhanced Overall Well-being

Regular cupping sessions can contribute to enhanced overall well-being. The combined effects of pain relief, stress reduction, detoxification, and improved circulation promote a healthier, more balanced life.


Cupping massage offers numerous health benefits, making it a valuable addition to any wellness routine. Whether you're looking to relieve chronic pain, reduce stress, improve skin health, or support your immune system, cupping massage can be a powerful tool in achieving better health and well-being.


Cupping is a much deeper style of massage therapy and may not be for everyone. If you’re wondering if cupping could work for you, get in touch or ask about cupping at your next session.
