Cupping massage therapy might be trendy now, but it’s not new. It dates back to ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern cultures. One of the oldest medical textbooks in the world, the Ebers Papyrus, describes how the ancient Egyptians used cupping therapy in 1,550 B.C.

Cupping massage means that the therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes thus creating suction.

Cupping massage is particularly helpful with inflamation or localised pain and blood flow.

By using warm cups it creates a vacuum in the chosen area of the body and the skin rises upwards and stretches to increase circulation and relieve pain in the affected area..
