Cupping Massage
Note: StatIC cupping (used in this treatment) causes moderate to very dark bruising. 
Combining static cupping, cup gliding and myofascial release, this treatment is designed to mobilize fascia, improve blood flow, and relieve local pain and inflammation. Cupping separates layers of tissue and adhesions in the area being treated, significantly increasing blood flow to the area while washing away fluid with toxins and improving the elasticity of the tissue. Cupping can be done as often as once every two weeks and is shown to improve mobility and the movement of fluids in as few as 1-3 sessions. Lymphatic taping is a recommended add-on; this can drastically reduce the duration and achiness of bruising by gently lifting the skin enough to continuously drain fluid away from the treated area for 1-2 weeks.

FAQ
-
Cupping can be uncomfortable, especially if you are not used to it or your superficial tissue is not very mobile. Moisturizing the area being treated leading up to your massage can help prevent discomfort. The cups can also be adjusted and should always be within your window of tolerance. Tell your therapist if you need the suction reduced.

You should not get stationary cupping if you are taking blood thinners or anticoagulants, are pregnant or anemic, or if you have a rash or excessively dry or cracked skin. While cupping massage can help to break up scar tissue especially in the first two years of its development, it should not be done on the area of a surgery or injury during the acute healing stage (for at least eight weeks).
