Chinese cupping therapy
On the neck ; the shoulders and the back… Chinese cupping therapy is part of the arsenal of traditional Chinese medicine to relax, drain and detoxify the body.
Cupping shows its effectiveness in treating tendinitis, sprains and muscle stiffness.
In China, cupping therapy is considered to be a particularly effective treatment for relieving muscle tensions across the back and joint pain in and around the shoulders.
Another modality from traditional Chinese medicine is Chinese cupping therapy. Its main purpose is to extract toxic substances that stagnate in the organs or joints treated and bring them up to the surface of the skin where they can be eliminated more easily.
A constant suction pressure is generated on the skin by the suction cups. This suction causes decompression of the underlying tissues, which creates free space between the different layers of the skin where toxins will be drawn.
In addition, cupping causes a rush of blood to the treated areas, which promotes the initiation of simple and natural self-healing processes in the body.
Chinese cupping therapy improves blood flow to areas of the body that are inflamed or have poor lymphatic flow; or even who are afflicted with poor or insufficient blood flow.
For example, it is often observed that athletes who train in swimming receive Chinese cupping therapy regularly.
This is because these athletes put a lot of strain on their shoulders, which are regularly exposed to the humidity and cold that constantly penetrate their joints.
In this case, the primary goal of Chinese Cupping Therapy is to remove moisture from the athlete’s shoulder joints ; improve local blood circulation and restore range of motion and normal function to his shoulders.
At Zen Ashiatsu, Chinese cupping therapy is combined with laser therapy and acupressure massage or signature ashiatsu massage, depending on the client’s needs. It is a treatment tailored to individual needs.
