    Cupping

What is cupping? Imagine if an octopus tried to give you a massage, kneading and lifting tight muscles. As your body relaxes, circulation is restored, and you can feel space and movement where you once felt tight, stuck, and stiff.
There are many types of Cupping therapy, but all of them create a vacuum to lift and decompress the body. This is why Cupping is called “Deep Tissue massage in the opposite direction.”
When combining acupressure and cupping therapy, both compression and decompression forces are utilized to effectively release the soft tissue tension. Just like massage, cupping should feel good, and the pressure is adjustable from very light to very intense to suit the treatment need.

 Acupressure


Acupressure is a form of massage that is one of the treatment methods used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The goal of acupressure (as well as other Chinese Medicine treatments) is to encourage the movement of qi ("life energy") through the 14 channels (meridians) inside the body.
These are the same energy meridians and acupoints as those targeted with acupuncture. Chinese Medicine theory states that the constant flow of qi through these channels is essential for a person to keep their health. If this energy flow is blocked, the body can no longer maintain the balance that is needed to maintain high energy and deal with health issues.
