Suction Cups produce vacuums on the body's surface using a suction gun, rather than the traditional way of burning up oxygen. Rather than pressing down on body tissues, Massage Suction Cupping uses negative pressure, drawing body tissues outward to stimulate them with a reverse massage. The skin is pressed up against the magnetic "needles" or points, when used in cupping sets.
Magnetic Suction Cupping is a modernized form of Cupping therapy that also employs acupressure and magnetic therapies. Suction is triggered with a suction gun that produces a pressure vacuum inside cups which have been placed on the skin. Often called Massage Suction Cupping, the suction works to relax rigid soft tissues and muscles through pressure. The acupressure and magnetic therapy comes in when the skin is partially sucked into the cups, pressing against magnetic accupressure points in the cup, stimulating acupoints on the body according to Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Aside from Traditional Chinese Medicine beliefs about balancing the Chi in the body, suction cupping relaxes muscles while exerting negative (suction) pressure on the surface of the body. The effects are similar to those of massage: increased bloodflow to local areas and pressure to relax muscle tissues. Beyond that, cupping has produced testimonials to more immediate gains in well-being. Actress Gwyneth Paltrow's endorsement of cupping is only one example. Practitioners and patients in most of Asia, and increasingly in the West, attribute their feelings of improvement and relaxation to cupping, joining the chorus of those who have sung its praises for thousands of years.
Our customers often feel a deep relaxing warmth during a Cupping session and a tingling sensation that lasts long after the treatment has ended. Massage Cupping is an effective addition to any spa or healing session. The cups are inexpensive, fun and result oriented. You will be amazed at the effective sessions produced by these Suction Cupping devices.

Gua Sha - another way to release muscle tension and tightness. Rub an area of the body with a traditional Gua Sha tool and cream or oil for a thorough massage.
