Description
Massage cupping, also known as cupping therapy, is a form of alternative medicine where cups are placed on the skin to create suction. This method is often used to enhance circulation, relieve muscle tension, and promote cell repair.
The benefits of massage cupping include:
• Pain Relief: It can help reduce muscle tension and promote relaxation, which in turn can help reduce pain.
Improved Blood Flow: The suction from the cups increases circulation to the area where the cups are placed, which can enhance healing.
• Reduced Inflammation: By promoting blood flow, cupping can reduce inflammation and enhance immune function.
• Relaxation: The process is often found relaxing, which can help reduce stress and promote well-being.
Cupping is generally safe when performed by trained health professionals on appropriate individuals. However, it can sometimes cause mild side effects, such as bruising and soreness.
Why Regina Recommends
I suffer from chronic back pain, and my massage therapist uses cups on me for each massage. It improves blood flow and reduces muscle pain. It can cause bruising, which it usually does in my case. But I highly recommend the practice.
