A Massage Upgrade Everyone Can Benefit From!
Tarrah Bouts, Owner & Licensed Esthetician
Whether you’re on a regular massage schedule or you’ve never had a massage in your life, this is a pain-free upgrade that provides so many benefits!
So what is it anyway?!
Cupping.
If you’re familiar you might say, “Oh yeah, of course!” If you’re not familiar, don’t let this term scare you away.
To keep it in Layman’s terms, Cupping is a practice in which your Licensed Massage Therapist places special cups on your skin for a few minutes each, creating a suction. This suction draws the skin and underlying tissues into the cup, providing a range of benefits. Let’s take a look!
Pain relief: Cupping can help to relieve muscle pain and tension, as well as joint pain.
Improved circulation: The suction created by the cups can increase blood flow and circulation, which can help to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
Relaxation: Cupping can promote a deep sense of relaxation and calmness, which can be helpful for anyone dealing with stress and anxiety.
Improved range of motion: Cupping can help to improve flexibility and range of motion, making it a great option for athletes or individuals who engage in physical activity.
Detoxification: Cupping is believed to help with detoxification by increasing lymphatic flow and aiding in the removal of toxins from the body.
As we head into the warmer months, we all tend to be a little more active. From golfing at The Elks to planting in your garden come May, or simply just having tension built up in your body over time, now is the time to take care of those problem areas.
This service is also an amazing alternative for someone who cannot tolerate more traditional forms of massage therapy, such as deep tissue massage.
Now for someone this is not for: anyone who is pregnant, currently taking blood thinners, or anyone who has an event coming up. (These cups will leave red circles on your skin, so if you’re going out in a backless dress, we would probably wait until after! LOL!)
If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, our Licensed Massage Therapists can guide you through the process and make sure you’re fully informed and comfortable before beginning.
