Chinese Massage Cupping is a technique where glass cups are attached to the skin by negative pressure - it is becoming more and more popular in the U.S. due to its effectiveness and because…it feels great. One of my clients described it as “deep tissue from the inside out”.

Cups can be used stationary to treat a knot or pain point, or can be moved along the surface of the skin. Moving the cups creates a very pleasant and unique sensation as the underlying tissues are lifted - and must be experienced to be fully appreciated.

Cultures all over the world use cupping. The earliest written record is from 1500 BC in Egypt, and Hippocrates is said to have chastised physicians who did not use cupping in treating patients.

In addition to freeing fascial adhesions, removing metabolic waste from soft tissues, increasing circulation, releasing stagnations, and a myriad of other health benefits…it is very very relaxing.
