Hot Cupping (inverse massage therapy)
Massage therapy is well known for its many benefits like increasing circulation, promoting healing and relaxing the muscles, cupping works as a reverse of massage therapy. Whereas in massage therapy, the healer exerts pressure, in cupping the muscles are decompressed. When the warm cup with the vacuum under it is moved across the body, it pulls the muscle and skin away from the bones. In this way, it creates an empty space which immediately receives a new infusion of blood. As the blood circulates in the space, it brings with it fresh oxygen and nutrients. In this way, cupping therapy works to improve blood circulation and relaxes the muscle by removing knots
Cupping can be used as a stand alone treatment or can be combined with many other massage treatments. Highly recommended for body builders, sport enthusiasts and athletes, deep muscular problems, scarring from operations and injuries, Fibromyalgia and anti-ageing facials or just a nice relaxing massage
This traditional, time-honoured treatment remains favoured by millions of people worldwide because it is safe, comfortable and remarkably effective for many health disorders.
Pain relief
Pain relief is one of the main reasons people use cupping. Cupping targets soft tissue with pressure applied to pain points and areas of swelling. This helps to increase blood flow and give the tissues important nutrients and oxygen. It’s believed to help release tissues deep within the body, relax tense muscles and ease stiffness that’s often associated with neck and back pain, migraines and rheumatism.

Muscular injuries and inflammation. Many people who suffer a muscular injury will usually apply lots of ice packs. However, the inflammation that you see is your body’s defence system kicking into action. It floods the injured muscle with blood and healing chemicals, platelets, white blood cells, fibroblasts and nutrients. Cupping therapy works in a similar way. It draws blood to the affected areas so that the blood vessels are repaired, or new vessels are created, and it can heal adhesions and areas of stagnation. This the main reasons athletes use cupping therapy. It helps their bodies recover from intense work out sessions they undertake to build muscle and stamina,
Detoxification
If you have been experiencing poor blood circulation, it can lead to a build-up of toxins inside the tissues of your body. This build up is often the cause of many health problems, Cupping can help improve this stagnation and the blood rushing to the treated areas effectively carries away the toxins. Along with the toxins, it also carries away dead cells and lymph, and other accumulated debris. All these elements are then naturally expelled from the body. This is why we recommend that you drink plenty of water, “to help flush away the impurities” and promote good health.
