Massage Cupping is an adaptation of an ancient technique.  Glass or plastic cups are used to create a suction on the surface of the body.  These cups are then moved over the skin.  This suction reaches deep into the soft tissue, attachments and organs.  Another benefit is to pull toxins and inflammation from the body to the surface of the skin where the lymphatic system can more readily eliminate them.

Massage Cupping relieves:

• Tight or hardened muscles
• Pain and restriction of movement
• Scar tissue
• Edema
• Restricted lymphatic flow and circulation
• Inflammation of joints and tissue
• Trigger points
