The effect of cupping massage: advantages and disadvantages
The cupping massage
The cupping massage, also known as the cupping head massage, is not a new type of massage technique. Already 3300 BC BC, Greek and Egyptian doctors performed cupping with so-called cupping heads. This type of massage was also known in a similar form in China. In the event of illness, the glasses placed on top should ensure that the disturbed balance of bodily fluids and thus health is restored. There are many positive effects that cupping massage has on the human body.
What does the cupping massage do?
The cupping massage combines the effects of classic massage and cupping. With the help of small glasses in the shape of a ball, which are placed on oiled areas of the body, a negative pressure is created. If the cupping heads are now moved back and forth, an alternating “sucking in” of the body parts is created and thus the massage effect.
The cupping massage has a circulation-enhancing effect as well as a purifying and relaxing effect. In particular, people who long for relaxation and stress reduction have many positive experiences with the cupping massage, because it is said to have an activating, draining and strengthening effect.
In general, the effect of the cupping massage unfolds particularly well.

Other benefits of cupping massage
The use of the cupping massage on the legs is very much appreciated. Cupping massage is particularly popular on the thighs, as this massage technique helps with slack connective tissue and also significantly improves the complexion.
If the cupping massage is performed on the back, pain in the back area is noticeably reduced.
By the way: The cupping massage is also popular in the beauty industry. With the help of smaller cupping glasses, the tissue on the face can be strengthened very well.
The course of the cupping massage
Before the cupping massage starts, the affected skin area is first cleaned and oiled. If you like, you can combine this process directly with a relaxing massage and ensure more relaxation for the customer or patient.
The cupping glasses themselves are not prepared. In this form of cupping, glasses with a rubber ball are used, which provide the appropriate negative pressure. If the glasses are placed on the skin, the rubber ball is pushed together for this moment. As soon as you let go of it, the ball draws in air - a vacuum is formed, which lifts the skin slightly. Now you can massage with the glass.
From time to time it is necessary for a new vacuum to be formed. The cupping glass can remain in hardened areas. To ensure that your customers and patients are not exposed to any risk, you should learn all the necessary techniques in advance.
Side effects of cupping massage
Compared to classic cupping, the cupping massage is considered a gentle treatment. Nevertheless, the massage should not be carried out without hesitation.
If there are injuries or inflammations on the skin areas that are to be massaged, the massage can make the condition worse. In addition, people who suffer from blood clotting disorders can have problems with the blood-stimulating negative pressure.
