Description
*Massage enhancements can be added to any service and do not add additional time to your massage. Please let Demi know if you'd like a massage enhancement prior to your massage via the Massage Session Intake Form that you will receive 48 hours prior to your massage via email* Cupping therapy is an ancient practice originating in Chinese medicine. An old Chinese medicine maxim states - where there is stagnation there will be pain, remove the stagnation, and you remove the pain - This treatment draws stagnate blood to the surface through negative pressure which allows for greater circulation of blood and oxygen to the muscles. It detoxes muscle tissue by drawing the toxin filled fluids to the surface which allows your body to remove them more efficiently. This is a great enhancement for those suffering from chronic pain in or athletes who wish to reduce recovery time. In your session, the cups may be placed stationary, but your massage therapist may also use a gliding technique across the surface of the skin for negative pressure benefits.
