Cupping Therapy

This is a great Eastern therapy with Western applications.

Using special glass cups, I address areas of muscle tension without the usual pressures associated with deep tissue massage. In fact, rather than pushing into your muscle as is usually done in deep tissue and trigger point therapy, heated cups act as finely tuned vacuums, gently "pulling away" muscle tension and increasing circulation to needed areas.

One important indicator of cupping effectiveness is the distinctive circular marks that remain after treatment. They apear over areas of greater "stagnation" and may range in color from light pink to deep raspberry, usually lasting from 2 - 10 days. (You may have seen these circles on Gwyneth Paltrow or athletes at the Beijing Olympics.)

What I find particularly rewarding, is that with each successive treatment, Clients usually notice a reduction in color intensity. This, according to Eastern belief, tells us that the flow of "Qi" (energy) is being restored to the affected areas. To the Client, this usually translates into less pain and greater ease of movement.
