Techniques and tools used
(some of them)
The cup I use are silicon based.
I have 4 little ones for your face.
I apply oil on your skin and then glide with them along your spine.
It's an efficient way to release fascia adhesion, improve blood circulation, relax your nervous system.
I also leave them on a spot for up to 20 min but usually more like 5 min.
Especially on your lower back or shoulder blade area. It's a great and efficient way to improve massage therapy.
It can leave marks on your back.
Those mark are not dangerous and will disappear in 1 to 5 days.
​
Cupping &
Cupping Massage
It hurts but it hurts "good".
Muscles can develop small areas that are painful to touch and when pressed can reproduce symptoms of the pain you currently experience.
Like headache in your eyes and stirn area can come from trigger points in your top shoulders (trapezius muscle)
Or hip and lower back pain can come from trigger point in your Illiopsoas muscle, a deep hip flexor accessed through your belly.
Tennis Elbow can be treated with trigger point therapy.
​
When receiving a trigger point treatment : Breath right into the pain. It helps your body to relax and the tension goes away quicker.
