Cupping Massage Therapy that combines vacuum pressure and acupressure is one of the oldest therapies originally developed in China approximately 3000 years ago and successfully used in modern medicine as a comprehensive treatment method free from side-effects that can be applied to a number of health conditions.
Cupping massage is most frequently used in order relieve muscle tension that implies different sorts of pain. The vacuum pressure inside a cup creates suction tugging the skin and muscles upwards and into a cup. This allows to stimulate blood circulation and more efficient body detoxication as well as increase flexibility of muscles and skin. Cupping massage is widely utilised in analgesic therapy when a therapist positions a number of cups onto aching areas of the body caused by neuralgia, omalgia or backache.
