Cupping is an ancient technique stemming from as early as 500 BC

Cupping involves using a flame to displace air from a glass cup to create a vacuum. This is then placed on the body which creates suction. This action draws blood into the area helping ease tension and release stagnant blood, allowing for more free movement of the muscle tissue.

Whilst cupping is often confused with bruising, it is usually stagnant blood in the body that causes such discolouration.

Cupping is available at no extra cost in a massage treatment and is a highly effective tool, particularly in releasing chronic damage or area’s that have become hard and stuck.
