Therapeutic massage with suction cups is an ancient method, references to which are also found in the texts of Hippocrates, which is actively practiced to this day.
Cupping is adjunctive to any rehabilitation and treatment program, especially in musculoskeletal problems involving the spine, but also in cases of a simple cold.
By creating a vacuum and negative pressure, cupping massage effectively helps to drain retained fluids and toxins. It stimulates the peripheral nervous system, restores the free flow of blood and energy to the muscles and skin, and dissolves adhesions in the connective tissue and soft tissues of the body. It is also effective in treating cellulite.
The suction cups do not cause pain, but they do cause a pulling sensation on the skin. Sometimes, after the cupping treatment, the characteristic bruises appear on the skin, but they usually disappear after a few days.
