Cupping massage

The cupping massage is a tried and tested form of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for thousands of years, which has also become increasingly popular in the West in recent years. It is based on the principle of local derivation of "bad" energies and the promotion of blood flow to support the body in self-healing.

How does the cupping massage work?

In the cupping massage special cupping glasses are placed on the skin. By creating a vacuum in the glass, the skin is slightly lifted and a suction is created. This sog stimulates blood circulation, promotes lymphatic drainage and loosens tense muscles. The treatment can be performed with both standing and sliding lenses. Standing glasses are placed at certain acupuncture points or painful places and left for a certain time. In the sliding cupping massage, the glasses are moved over the skin, resulting in an intense massage effect.

Application areas of cupping massage

The cupping massage can be used for a variety of complaints, including:

Important: The cupping massage is not a single form of therapy and does not replace the visit to the doctor or medical practitioner. It should always be done in the context of a holistic approach and in coordination with other therapeutic measures.

    The improved circulation and relaxation of the muscles improves mobility and relieves pain.

  • Headache and migraine

    The cupping massage can help to relieve tension in the head and neck muscles and thus relieve headaches.
