Millions of people are watching the Olympics now and many are keen to learn about cupping! Some ask, is cupping a form of massage? If you have seen even a few minutes of the swimming, you will notice the round spots that adorn the backs of many high-profile swimmers.
This type of treatment is gaining more and more interest as high-profile athletes and celebrities alike seek this type of treatment and the results show when wearing these markings as a result of cupping.
Cupping is taught in local massage schools which shows how to properly position the cups to ensure proper technique. Cupping is often referred to as a safe and legal way to help these world-class athletes (and movie stars) with body strengthening.
Is cupping considered a different type of massage? It depends on your provider, their certification in this field, and your tolerance for this type of treatment. Often massage therapists do offer this treatment in addition to typical massage given on a massage table.
What are some of the benefits of this type of treatment?
- Joint Mobilization
- Lymph Drainage
