Cupping Massage (Soma Bella)
In this modern fast paced world healing requires innovative techniques to deliver powerful results. Cupping is an ancient practice going back centuries and therapeutic insights are gained from the respected ancient masters. Massage cupping is a modified version of “cupping therapy,” extensively used in traditional Chinese medicine for several thousand years.
Cupping massage creates suction and negative pressure to drain excess fluids and toxins from the body. It stimulates the peripheral nervous system and delivers blood flow to stagnant muscles, skin and loosens adhesions, connective tissue and stubborn knots in soft tissue, definitely a big win in these modern times.
Cupping massage is a more widely used form of cupping among massage therapists and other health care practitioners. Before applying the silicone cup, oil is administered to the skin to facilitate smooth movement and palpably discover the areas of tension and congestion. Placing the cup on the affected area creates a vacuum, as the cups glide over the surface. A cup may be “parked” for a short time on stubborn knots or over inflamed joints or tissue. Massage cups may be used on the neck, shoulders, back, sacral area, hip, abdomen, thigh, upper arms and calves.
