What is Deep Tissue Cupping Massage?
Deep tissue massage reaches the deeper layers of muscles. It helps to break up and eliminate scar tissues that might come from previous injuries. The massage is corrective as well as therapeutic.
By creating suction and negative pressue deep tissue cupping massage is known to break up localized stagnation. Once an adhesion or congestion is pulled away from its source, fresh blood, energy and fluids rush in to speed up healing.
