Massage cupping is a modified version of "cupping therapy," which has been used in Chinese medicine for many years.
By creating negative pressure, cups are used to drain excess fluids and toxins; stimulate the peripheral nervous system; bring blood flow to stagnant muscles and skin; and loosen adhesions, connective tissue and stubborn knots in soft tissue. Application of cups draws blood from arteries to capillaries then returns via veins to be disposed.
