Cupping massage – A technique for decongesting tissues and evacuating toxins.
Vacuum therapy is also known as cupping massage.
It is a 3000-year-old ancestral technique from Chinese medicine.
It consists of increasing blood and lymphatic circulation through the use of glass suction cups. The aim is to create a suction effect that will promote tissue decongestion, the evacuation of toxins and tissue mobility. Depending on the desired treatment objective, different forms of suction cups can be used and applied in a static or mobile way.
The benefits of cupping massage
There are several benefits to this technique, including:
- Facilitates drainage and evacuates metabolic waste
- Increases blood circulation to desired areas thus nourishing tissues with oxygen and nutrients
- Improves tissue and muscle flexibility
- Reduces pain
- Reduces muscle adhesions and tension
- Reduces oedema
As there are several benefits to vacuum therapy, this technique will help relieve problems such as:
- Joint or muscle issues
- Tendinitis
- Sprain
- Osteoarthritis
- Muscle soreness
- Chronic myofascial pain (CMP)
- Trigger point: pain points, contractions and knots
- Sciatica
- Tension headache
- Cellulitis
Undesirable effects?
Very few side effects. If cupping therapy is performed statically, bruising may be visible following application. It depends primarily on how long the cups are applied, the intensity of the aspiration as well as the chosen area. The marks usually disappear within a few days or after about a week. There may also be a slight tenderness on palpation for a short time.
Contraindications
The use of suction cups is advised in certain cases such as:
- Taking anticoagulants
- Very large varicose veins
- If a client has or has ever had a hernia, no suction cup should be placed where it was or is
- In the case of a recent scar, we recommend waiting 3 weeks after surgery (medical approval required)
- Large arteries such as the jugular and carotid arteries are avoided.
- Acute inflammatory or infectious diseases
- Skin tumours
- Open wounds
- Hematomas
- Erythema
- Bruises
Vacuum therapy is therefore a highly effective therapy that offers almost instantaneous positive results. Naturally, each treatment is adapted to your needs and your physical condition.
