Cupping Therapy Saskatoon
Cupping therapy can be used for many reasons. These reasons can include, tight muscles or lingering tension, aid in helping to break down scar tissue from an old injury or the prevention of injuries, as well as maintaining muscle health. Cupping therapy can be a great addition to your massage care.
Gentle Suction That Reaches Deeper Than Touch Alone
A Complement to Massage Care
Cupping is often incorporated into massage sessions to help address muscle tightness, improve mobility, and aid in breaking down the build up of scar tissue. Some people also choose cupping as part of their care for concerns such as:
- muscle tension and restricted range of motion
- areas affected by scar tissue
- abdominal discomfort or indigestion
- tension headaches
- general stress
A Comfortable, Guided Experience
Depending on the type of cupping your therapist provides, they will determine cup placement on your individual needs and comfort level. The therapist will check in with you through the treatment to make sure the cups are comfortable for you. Cupping is often integrated into a regular massage appointment, focusing on the areas where you feel the most tension. After the treatment you may notice circular markings from the cups, this is very normal due to the suction of the cups. These marks should fade within a few days of the treatment. Some methods of cupping can leave significantly more visible marks, however creating these marks is not the goal of the treatment.
