Cupping is a powerful detoxifying,
pain relieving and energy building
modality that people all over the
world use for health maintenance.
But there are also a huge number
of conditions that respond
positively to Cupping.

What is Cupping Therapy?
Its opposite than your usual
massage! Erika will use different
sized cups to pull the tissue and
muscles, rather than compress
them. This technique is superior
bodywork for pain, stubborn
conditions, repetitive strains,
inflammation, toxicity, chronic
fatigue, digestive problems and a
slew of other issues we confront as
we grow older.
Suction cups rapidly facilitate rigid
soft tissue release, loosen & lift
connective tissue, breaks up and
drain stagnation while increasing
blood & lymph flow to skin &
muscles in ways not possible using
regular massage treatments.
Another benefit of Cupping is that it
can feel really great when done
properly for your constitution and
current physiology and/or
condition. The pulling action
engages the parasympathetic
nervous system, thus allowing a
deep relaxation to move through
the entire body. It is not unusual to
fall asleep when receiving this
treatment. You will be surprised at
how relaxed, warm and light you'll
feel hours... sometimes even days
afterwards.

Orthopedic/ Sports
Cupping Sessions:
The goal of orthopedic massage cupping
is to dissolve and remove adhesions;
normalize the positions of the soft tissue
and release its torsion, hydrate the joints,
release shortened muscles and tendons,
facilitate normal neurological function,
and release entrapment of the peripheral
nerves. When facilitating the cups during
dynamic motion all of these benefits are
easily obtained.

This session is designed for any of the
following conditions:
Shoulder pain/strain; including
Rotator cuff injury
& Frozen Shoulder
Forearm Elbow pain/ Tennis
elbow
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Back pain
Scoliosis

What should I know about
the effects on my skin that
Cupping may cause?
One of the most common and
unfortunate misconceptions
concerning cupping is the
misinterpretation of the
discoloration. Unfortunately the
use of such photos (at the bottom)
is sometimes used to scare people
away from the treatment. During
your cupping sessions dead
cellular debris, poisons, stagnation,
blood congestion and excess fluids
are drawn to the surface and this
may sometimes leave deposits
under the skin, which, short of
cutting the skin (Which we will
NOT do) and pulling it out, is the
best place for the lymphatic system
to drain it away, Because your skin
is your largest organ in your body.

*All Patients will be required to sign a
release form acknowledging the possibility
of acquiring these discolorations.
