An old Chinese philosophy says: \u201cWhere there\u2019s stagnation, there will be pain. Remove the stagnation, and you remove the pain.\u201d Seems simple enough, but how does it remove the pain?<\/p>

Massage Cupping is starting to gain in popularity due to its powerful effects on the body with little to no discomfort. Cupping dates back through many cultures including the Chinese, Middle Eastern, and Egyptians all the way back to 1,550 B.C. Massage Cupping has a wide range of purposes including helping with pain, inflammation, blood flow, and relaxation which is crucial when the nervous system is involved to allow for better healing.<\/p>

Cupping therapy is a technique where cups (in this case silicone) are used to create a negative pressure where the fascia can be gripped and stretched. By creating suction and vacuum pressure, Massage Cupping can be used to soften tight muscles, loosen attachments and adhesions, and increase blood flow to areas of pain and discomfort.<\/p>

Cupping lifts tissue, bringing hydration and blood flow to the area that is stuck or being blocked, it moves the deep inflammation to the surface of the skin so that it can flow easier in the less restricted lymphatic system. This allows for the body to clear out toxins, dead skin cells, random debris, and metabolic waste easier since there are less obstructions in the way and lets more blood into the damaged area allowing for new nutrients and oxygen to flow in promoting faster healing naturally.<\/p>

Massage Cupping treatments have been known in the past to help in other areas as well including with some respiratory conditions, scars and adhesions, relaxation, pain relief, and pre\/post-surgery. With the respiratory system, it has been known to help with asthma and seasonal allergies along with freeing chest restrictions and giving a person the ease of deeper breathes.<\/p>

Scars and adhesions commonly come from injuries or surgical sites, with the use of suction, it can be invaluable in freeing soft tissue, restricted fascia, and re-aligning disorganized scar tissue into functional tissue. This in turn will help speed recovery time from an injury or surgery and can increase your athletic performance.<\/p>

Relaxation may not be exactly what your thinking. While it is relaxing, the therapeutic benefits from being able to relax the central nervous system will decrease stress and anxiety, lower muscle tension allowing for better blood flow, and can aid in insomnia and fatigue. In my opinion, one of the greatest benefits is the relaxation of the nervous system, when the nervous system can let go, it can release its holding pattern on the tissue. A lot of times, we don\u2019t realize our body is holding tension in an area to help protect itself from another area of pain or discomfort. This technique allows it to \u201clet go\u201d allowing us to free up the fascia making the area much more functional.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Vacuum therapy is not an irritant to the skin or body. It draws the inflammation out from deep in the tissues to be released, hydrating and freeing up the fascia so that every part can move efficiently allowing the energy to flow throughout your body.<\/p>
