Cupping
At Screaming Octopus, we proudly offer massage cupping—a sought-after therapy combining ancient wisdom with modern wellness practices. This technique, often referred to as “negative pressure,” involves lifting the tissue rather than applying direct pressure. By creating suction, massage cupping effectively loosens muscles, relaxes fascia, encourages blood flow, and aids in the elimination of metabolic waste from the tissues. It’s an ideal choice for those who prefer a gentler approach while still benefiting from the profound effects of deep tissue massage.
Benefits of Massage Cupping:
Relieves Muscle Tension: The suction created by cupping helps release tight muscles and alleviate tension, promoting relaxation and comfort.
Enhances Blood Circulation: By drawing blood to the surface of the skin, cupping improves circulation, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen to the tissues and stimulating healing.
Facilitates Detoxification: This technique promotes the removal of metabolic waste from the body, aiding in overall detoxification and supporting metabolic functions.
Boosts Flexibility: By loosening fascia, massage cupping contributes to increased flexibility and range of motion, making it beneficial for athletes and those recovering from injuries.
Pain Relief: Many clients find significant relief from chronic pain issues, muscle soreness, and tension through the gentle yet effective techniques of cupping.
Supports Overall Wellness: Cupping can enhance physical and mental well-being, providing a sense of balance and relaxation.
To maximize the benefits of your cupping session, we recommend hydrating and nourishing yourself well before your appointment.
