Cupping Massage Therapy is a modality that uses a cup that is applied to the body surface by reducing the pressure inside the cup creating a suction or negative pressure. The technique increases local circulation of blood and lymph, stretches muscle tissue, and loosens adhesion or scar tissue for the treatment of acupressure points, myofascial restrictions, and trigger points.

About the Cups
No heat or pumps required. And unlike glass, if you drop a Bellabaci silicone cup, it won't chip or break.
To ensure that your cups last a guaranteed 5 years, wash with disinfectant liquid soap after each use. If the cup is left to stand with oil on it, it will harden. So be sure to promptly wash it after the treatment.
Do not use any mineral oil or mineral oil containing product with your cups.
Also note seasonal changes in temperature. If it’s too hot or too cold, it will affect the pliability of the cups. They will become harder in the cold and softer in the heat. To make them more pliable, place the cups in hot water. To make them harder, place them in the fridge for a few minutes.
