Moving Cupping

What is Moving Cupping?

Technique: In moving cupping, the therapist places cups on the skin after applying a massage oil or lotion. This allows the cups to glide smoothly over the skin rather than staying in one spot.
Equipment: Silicone or plastic cups are often used because they are flexible and easy to manipulate. Vacuum suction is typically created with a pump or by squeezing the cups.

Benefits of moving cupping therapy:

Increased Blood Flow: The suction created by the cups pulls blood to the surface of the skin, enhancing circulation.
Muscle Relaxation: The combination of suction and movement helps to release tension in muscles, similar to deep tissue massage.
Pain Relief: Many people experience relief from chronic pain and soreness after treatment, especially in the back, neck, and shoulders.
Lymphatic Drainage: Moving cupping can stimulate the lymphatic system, aiding in detoxification and reducing swelling.
Improved Mobility: The technique can help increase the range of motion in joints and reduce stiffness.

Benefits of Fire Cupping Therapy:

Hydration:
Drinking water helps in detoxification as cupping can release toxins stored in the muscles.
Rest:
Allow your body to rest and recover after the session. Intense workouts immediately after may not be advisable.
Skin Care:
Apply soothing creams or lotions if there’s any irritation. Avoid direct sunlight on treated areas for a few days.
Observation:
Monitor your body for any unusual reactions. If you experience significant discomfort or allergic reactions, consult a healthcare provider.
