Jen has offered Massage Cupping since 2008. She applies various sized silicone devices, or cups, to the client’s skin. Jen primarily uses flexible, silicone cups that are able to access hard to reach tissue around bones & joints. The cups can be placed and left stationary to clear congestion/move Chi or moved to “massage” various tissues. Because the cups have a “negative pressure” effect, or can pull tissue away from the bones, it has the unique ability to separate stuck or twisted fascial layers in way that more compressive massage modalities cannot provide.
Receiving Massage Cupping is helpful in reducing congestion, pain, & inflammation and promoting blood flow, relaxation & general well-being, It can be a great tool for reducing edema after surgery and unwinding fascia/connective tissue, soften or eliminate scar tissue and bonus, reduce cellulite! See all benefits below.
