Cupping massage
„Don’t ask me why I’m having a massage.
Ask yourself why you aren’t doing it. “
What is it?
Cupping has been used as a therapeutic method since ancient times. It involves cups that are held against the skin using a vacuum. The aim of cupping therapy is to enhance the body’s natural healing processes and to stimulate the body’s natural defences against disease. They improve blood and lymph circulation and metabolism, and have a strong pain-relieving effect. The procedure itself is not painful and can even be carried out in cases of acute inflammation.
Benefits of cupping massage
Suction cups are an excellent way to boost your immune system and help your body fight off pathogens naturally.
Appendices
The therapeutic effect of cupping stems from the strong influx of blood caused by the vacuum – this improves the peripheral circulation of blood, lymph and interstitial fluid. Cupping increases skin respiration in the areas being massaged, metabolic processes are stimulated, stagnant processes are eliminated, and muscle contractile function, as well as muscle tone and elasticity, are improved.
