Myofascial Cupping
Revitalise Your Body with Dry Cupping Massage at AXIS Chiropractic
At AXIS Chiropractic, we offer dry cupping massage, a unique and effective therapy that dates back thousands of years. This ancient practice is designed to promote healing, relieve pain, and enhance overall wellness by using suction to create a vacuum effect on the skin.
What is Dry Cupping Massage?
Dry cupping massage involves placing specially designed cups on the skin to create suction, drawing the skin and underlying tissues into the cup. This technique promotes increased blood flow, reduces muscle tension, and facilitates the body’s natural healing processes. The cups can be applied statically or used dynamically, making this therapy versatile for various needs.
What to Expect During Your Dry Cupping Session
Our dry cupping massage is a comprehensive treatment that includes several key elements:
- Initial Consultation: Before your session, our skilled therapists will discuss your specific concerns, medical history, and treatment goals to tailor the experience to your needs.
- Preparation: The area to be treated will be cleaned and prepared. A high-quality massage oil is applied to ensure smooth movement of the cups across your skin.
- Application of Cups: Depending on your needs, the therapist will apply silicone or glass cups to specific areas of your body. The cups can be used either statically—remaining in one place for focused treatment—or dynamically, where they are moved across the skin to create lift and suction, enhancing circulation and relaxation.
- Combination of Techniques: During the session, dry cupping is combined with hands-on deep tissue massage. This integrated approach helps to alleviate muscle tension more effectively. The cups may also be used passively, allowing for targeted relief without movement, or actively, where the cups are placed on the body while joints move through different ranges of motion. This active cupping enhances flexibility and promotes a deeper release of tension.
- Duration and Removal: The cups are typically left in place for 10 to 20 minutes. After this time, the therapist will gently remove the cups, allowing your skin to return to its normal state.
- Post-Treatment Care: After your session, our therapists will provide recommendations for post-cupping care, including hydration and stretches, to maximise the benefits of the treatment.
Why Choose Dry Cupping Massage?
- Pain Relief: Dry cupping is particularly effective for relieving muscle tension, chronic pain, and soreness, making it ideal for athletes and active individuals.
- Enhanced Circulation: The suction created by the cups promotes improved blood flow, which can aid in the healing of injuries and enhance overall wellness.
- Detoxification: By stimulating the lymphatic system, dry cupping helps to eliminate toxins from the body, promoting a sense of well-being.
