Cupping therapy is where I am finding this beautiful emergence of bodywork to a more compete state. Where before I was pushing, fingers, elbow deep into the tissue, to meet nervous system at comfort, while going into deeper tissues to break up soft tissues. For bodywork, involving both client and practitioner this cupping modality helps pull out what may have not wanted to push thru. This being experienced first hand, I can see a heightened speedy recovery if the client takes care of themselves following the treatments. Meaning hydrate, maybe ice, Espom salt soak, keeping warm, and get a good nights sleep. Stretching is vital. From the moment you get off the table, continue to open your body, keeping full range of motion. This is a daily practice. The marks can freak some people out, visually. As a practitioner I am interpreting the results. after removing the cups, you can discern the clients condition. If appear most, that is "damp" or yang deficient. If the skin marking is colored dark red or purple or blackish, or filled with spotted bruises, and or warm to the touch, that is considered "Overheated" and yang excessive. If the skin markings are dark red or purple but no spots or not warm tot the touch, the clients internal condition has stagnated blood. If the skin markings have no change to cold or touch the client is yang deficient. If the client is itchy or wrinkled, the clients internal condition is cold and gaseous.The cupping is an invaluable tool for massage and bodywork. It is about creating balance, or homeostasis in the body. Healing. Start today with bodywork on a regular schedule. As humans, body loves routine. I recommend weekly or every other week.

Rotational forces can be introduced to the fascial web, that hands on pushing therapy cannot duplicate. Cupping really helps with trigger points.Once I palpate and locate such areas, applying a cup offers extensive relief. The soma cupping can lift and separate tissues off of each other. This movement creates space for the fascial structures to bath in fluids and as a result rehydrate and make pliable once again. Kinda like a sponge when it is dry vs wet! ridged vs supple. The markings, if you will in this case are turning pink because the blood and the lymph fluids are drawn into the area under the cup. This is also an effective treatment for scars!Since scars are binding in the...
