Chinese cupping massage Croydon
Cupping massage is one of the oldest forms of Asian medicine. It has been used in China for thousands of years and has become a healing treatment beneficial for a variety of ailments.
When Chinese cupping massage in Croydon is recommended?
It is recommended, among others, for people with musculoskeletal problems and to fight cellulite. The vacuum which is created when the cup sucks onto the skin relaxes muscles, soft tissue, and enhances well-being.
Cupping therapy affects tissue up to 10 cm deep into the skin. It removes toxins, activates the lymphatic system, cleans the intestine from deposits, activates and cleans veins, arteries and capillaries. The massage stimulates skin, reduces stretch marks and improves circulation. During the massage you become relaxed and might experience warmth and slight tingling.
Is the massage safe?
Chinese cupping massage in Croydon is completely safe. However, the treatment may result in minor swelling and change in the colour of the skin. Such effect is absolutely normal and should not last for more than a few days. Purple circles on the skin after the massage (for example on the back) are not bruises but blood vessels which have reacted to the change in pressure.
