As a licensed massage therapist (#MT20900063), Dr. Hartman was asked by several clients to learn how to preform cupping therapy.
What is cupping therapy? It has been used for centuries as a healing therapy and is very similar to massage therapy. Massage cupping has been seen as non-invasive, effective, inexpensive and a safe treatment w/ several therapeutic modalities. It has many of the same positive effects as massage therapy does.
Types of Cups used:Plastic, or Silicone. Dr. Hartman was trained to use Silicone cups, they are considered the best, easier to use, and will only be using them in cupping therapy sessions.
What is Clinical Cupping Therapy? The suction draws a small amount of skin and superficial muscle into the cup and is moved in all directions. Similar to massage that applies pressure to the muscles but cups are used instead of hands, fingers, thumb, forearm, or elbows. Like cupping, it is an ancient method used for thousands of years to promotes healing and detoxification, promoting flow of blood, circulation, lymph and removing stagnation, supplying oxygen and nutrients to cells, softening tight muscles and relieving knots and loosening up adhesions, reduces pain and edema, reduction of excess fluids, decreases inflammation, improves lymph flow and opens blockages in the lymph nodes, relieves tension and stress, promotes muscular and nervous system relaxation, eliminates chronic congestion and has therapeutic effects in the body for a broad range of health challenges.
