Cupping massage
Cupping massage combines traditional suction cups with massage to ease muscle tension.
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.
