Body Massage
Cupping is an ancient Chinese
therapy in which a glass cup is applied to the skin and used to draw and hold
skin and superficial muscles inside the cup. Cupping is applied over meridian
and acupuncture points as well as to parts of the body that have been affected
by pain. It is most commonly used over the back but is effective throughout the
body e.g. on the thighs (releasing trigger points, particularly good on the IT
band), calves, hips (around the hip joint and over the piriformis for an
effective release that is less painful than deep tissue massage)
and in the
treatment of tennis elbow. It is the most effective deep tissue massage you can
get, but without the discomfort.Cupping is based on the meridian theory of the
body. It removes stagnation in the body and opens the meridians so that qi
(energy) can flow freely. Cupping can be used to release rigid soft tissue,
stimulate lymphatic drainage, loosen adhesions and lift connective tissue
whilst promoting blood flow and aiding deep tissue repair.Cupping has a
sedating effect on the nervous system, and many people find it profoundly
relaxing. Many people report that muscle tension and tenderness continues to
improve many hours after the session is completed. For more detail about Body Massage by Massage Center in JLT.
