Now Offering Cupping!

We are happy to say we are now offering cupping with our massages here at the wellness center. Cupping is based in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and offers a lot of benefits. There are two types of cup movements offered here, static and dynamic .

Static cupping is when the cups remain where they are after being placed. This helps with pain relief, tension and pain. Static cupping helps with chronic knots and trigger points. It helps with restriction in fascia, and deep muscular decompression, as well as relaxing your nervous system. It will create better localized blood flow and can help with a reduction of deep muscle tension.

Dynamic cupping is when the cups are placed but move along the surface of the skin. It helps mobilize fascia, remove metabolic waste, and improve circulation. It's recommended if you have stiff joints/sluggish fascia, it enhances your lymphatic flow, and it releases the superficial tightness in the layers of skin and fascial tissue. It can improve your range of motion, it gives a faster post workout recovery timeframe, and it allows for better hydration for the skin tissue.

So if you're interested, you can book your massage, either Trigger Point or Swedish massage and add the add-on feature of cupping. There are some contraindications to look out for however. If you experience any of the following, cupping is not an option for you: cancer, organ failure, bleeding disorders, active infections, pregnancy, skin lesions, varicose veins, recent surgery or trauma, and severe cardiovascular issues.
