A busy day of Cupping Therapy ✨✨

How does it work?

The fascia is a thin layer of connective tissue that surrounds muscles in the body. When the fascia becomes tight or restricted, it can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. Myofascial cupping can help to release this tension and improve blood flow to the affected area.

When cups are placed on the skin, they create suction that pulls on the muscles and tissues. This can cause a reduced blood flow to the area, which makes the body respond by sending more blood to that area. The increased blood flow can help reduce pain.

The suction of the cups also helps stretch and loosen up the tissues, making them more flexible and easier to move. Cupping differs from traditional deep tissue massage, which applies pressure to the tissues. Cupping can also help calm irritated nerves and trigger points because, during a session, the body may release natural neurotransmitters that control and minimize pain.

What does Manual Lymphatic Drainage feel like? ✨

With notions of toxin-flushing, one might easily assume that manual lymphatic drainage would mimic deep-tissue massage techniques.
On the contrary, a very light pressure is applied with long, rhythmic strokes used to gently stimulate the lymphatic system without pressing hard on the vessels
It is deceptively powerful despite the light touch.
The drainage will keep working for over 72 hours after the treatment has taken place.

Why is Manual Lymphatic Drainage necessary? ✨

Manual Lymphatic Drainage, is a therapeutic technique designed to promote the flow of lymph, a fluid that carries white blood cells, throughout the lymphatic system.
This treatment helps to reduce water retension/swelling, improve immune function, and enhance the body's ability to eliminate waste and toxins. It is often recommended for conditions such as lymphedema, post-surgery recovery, and overall immune system support.

Have you ever wondered what the Lymphatic system is composed of? ✨👐

Lymph nodes: These small, soft, round or bean-shaped structures are located in clusters throughout the body, including the neck, armpits, groin, chest, and abdomen.

Lymph vessels: These thin tubes carry lymph and white blood cells.

Lymphatic capillaries: These tiny, thin-walled vessels originate in the extracellular space of various tissues.

Lymphoid organs: These include the bone marrow and thymus, which produce lymphocytes, a special type of immune system cell.

Lymph: A clear fluid that contains waste products, cellular debris, bacteria, and proteins.

Spleen: This organ removes old and misshapen red blood cells and platelets from the bloodstream. It also stores a small supply of healthy red blood cells and platelets for emergencies.

Tonsils and adenoids: These are also part of the lymphatic system.

Lymphatic Drainage Tips ✨

MLD was first developed and used by Dr Emil Vodder and his wife Estrid in Paris in 1936 ✨

Your body has a system called the lymphatic system that helps keep you healthy and safe from harmful things. It works by keeping the fluid in your body balanced and protects you against infections. Lymph fluid can leak from capillaries into the tissues and if your lymphatic system doesn’t work very well or is blocked, it can result in extra fluid within your tissues.
Part of this system are the lymph nodes, which act like filters to to help remove harmful waste from your body. They are found in different parts of your body like your neck, armpits, abdomen, and groin area.
Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is different from regular massage and it can help with a condition called lymphoedema, which causes swelling in different parts of the body. This can be especially problematic following certain types of surgery.
The lymphatic drainage techniques stimulate the lymph vessels under your skin to help reroute stagnant lymphatic fluid. This can be especially helpful if you have swelling in your face, neck, arms, legs, chest, or groin.

🔥FIRE CUPPING🔥

Fire cupping is an alternative, non-invasive treatment technique that uses special cups placed on the skin to encourage blood flow to damaged areas. This unique therapy is often recommended to clients who suffer from muscular pain, joint pain, skin problems, and/or respiratory disorders.

What to Expect During Fire Cupping?

During treatment, the therapist puts a flammable substance inside of a glass cup before lighting it on fire. The therapist allows the fire to go out before placing it on the skin. This process causes your blood vessels to expand, encouraging blood flow and increased circulation to the damaged area(s).
While fire cupping may be recommended to clients with specific musculoskeletal conditions, it is ideal for any client who wishes to heal his or her soft tissue injuries and reduce overall pain and inflammation.
