Cupping Therapy (Add-on)
Cupping is a safe method for fascia release during your massage. Fascia is a thin layer of tissue beneath the skin and around the organs. During your cupping, the superficial fascia is treated to release allowing for mobility and pain relief. Dry vacuum cupping is used with your session with moderate suction. The cups are supervised at all times to prevent severe damage to the skin. Occasionally, marks will appear on the area where the cup was used. These marks will vary on person to person, the average time to clear the skin varies from one day to a week.
