Effective Cupping Therapy

Cupping Therapy is an ancient form of medicine in which a therapist puts special silicone cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. Improves blood flow and people get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and improve overall well-being, As a type of deep-tissue massage it feels totally different because the tissues are being pulled, not compressed. This allows your myofascial and connective tissues to relax and helps break up adhesions.

The benefits of cupping therapy

• Can reduce cellulite with multiple sessions
• Add this service for a specific muscle group for $10
• Add this service to a full body treatment for $20 (excluding the face)
• Cups will be properly sanitized after every use

Please note that cupping can leave round purple or red marks or circular ”bruises“ on the skin if the cup is left parked in one spot for more than a couple minutes. To minimize or prevent these effects, Andrew will only use movement cupping massage, which feels amazing. If you are ok with these marks, they may begin to fade after several days but can remain for two to three weeks. While very uncommon, there may also be some possible side-effects to cupping including pain, swelling, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, sweating, skin pigmentation, and or nausea.

Please feel free to discuss any questions you might have about cupping with Andrew prior to session.

It is recommended booking two or three months in advance to ensure availability.
