Vacuum therapy
is not an irritant to the skin or body. It draws the inflammation out
from deep in the tissues to be released. The skin can turn red with strong
movements, indicating that circulation has been brought to the surface.
Application of liniments, analgesics, essential oils, and ointments immediately
after treatment will enable absorption of the product deep into the tissue.
Increased local
blood supply to the muscles and skin will bring nourishment and allow for
toxins to be carried away via the lymph. Conditions of chronic and acute
pain can be relieved with minimal discomfort and tense muscles softened quickly
and easily. Massage Cupping is wonderfully effective to release
restrictions in fascia and scar tissue, such as plantar fasciitis.
Larger cups are
used for the broad areas of the back, and a strong vacuum will mimic the
rolling action of deep tissue massage without the discomfort. The movement may
be long and draining or circular and stimulating for stubborn knots and areas
of rigid tissue.
One of the most
beneficial applications of vacuum therapy is for preparation and recovery from
surgical procedures. Medical physicians are amazed at the speed and total
recovery that their patients exhibit when Massage Cupping Therapy is used to
complement their surgical work. Patients with extreme burns and deep abdominal
scars such as C-sections can now benefit from a comfortable therapy to loosen
and soften rigid tissue, no matter how old the scar is.
The action on
the nervous system is sedating and people often fall into a deep state of
relaxation. On a deeper therapeutic level, this nervous system sedation is
beneficial for those with high blood pressure, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue,
chronic headaches, fibromyalgia and neuralgia. The sensation is truly beyond
description! People have often reported a deep warmth and tingling sensation
long after the treatment has ended.
Another effective
application of Massage Cupping is in the treatment of cellulite. A very
light suction provides drainage, while heavier application can be used to
stimulate circulation, liquefy deposits of Solid Bloat and loosen
adhesions or “dimpling.” The thighs and hip region should be treated with
vacuum therapy prior to any wrapping procedure to enhance the absorption of
product. Successful and enjoyable body sculpting and contouring is
possible, with lasting results and many health benefits!
Treatments
using Massage Cupping include revolutionary results in the treatment of spinal
ailments, old and new injury sites, along with neuropathy and pain commonly
seen in patients who suffer with sciatica, diabetes, multiple sclerosis,
fibromyalgia, edema, and more.
