Cupping in 33614 - Tampa, FL (9)

Duration of the service is 1 hour

Cupping has been quite popular since Michael Phelps showed cupping circle like “bruises” on his back during th...e past Olympic Games. Cupping is preformed using suctions cups that draw the skin up into the cups and away from the body which helps increase the fresh blood flow to that injured region. As stated, cupping is quite commonly used on Athletes to increase range of motion and decrease muscle pain. I place cupping into the category of Myofascial Release (MFR), which is done using slow, deep massage strokes with little to no lubricant. It is designed to warm up the strong connective tissue which lies underneath the epidermis and sometimes gets “stuck” due to atrophy, injury, bad posture or stress, thereby preventing ease of mobility. I also combine cupping and MFR together which means with the cups in place I gently move the cups over the body to simulate recovery over a larger area, this also cuts down on the suction cup marks that can be left on the body after treatment. The only general concerns with cupping is the tell-tale marks the suction cups leave on your body, I would not recommend this treatment for people that have thin skin and concerns with skin tears. Cupping has also been effective in helping lower blood pressure.

Cupping therapy is an ancient technique utilizing cups to create suction and manipulate the tissue. This techn...ique pulls toxins, reduces inflammation, loosens scar tissue and increases circulation. Cupping also helps with deep muscular issues, increases range of motion and effective on cellulite. This treatment will leave circular spots on the treated area, however, there is no pain.
