Cupping Therapy Massage is considered to be one of the oldest kinds of treatment and rehabilitation for curing various ailments.
The use of the suction cup is intended to unblock the body's energy, and immediately restore it to healthy levels.
The treatment that was originally born and applied in ancient China, came in an advanced form to the western world to relieve the human body from muscle pains, increase blood circulation, and naturally remove toxins!
The treatment begins with a light massage at the area where the pain insists, and then plastic cups are applied epidermally.
With a special air suction device, the air is removed from the inside of each suction cup, giving the advantage that it can be moved on the body gently to unblock the problem areas.
Application methods: Light intensity/ Medium intensity/ Strong intensity/ Moving Cups (Drawers)/ Empty (Flash).
