Service Description

As the name suggests, it is the combination of massage movements and negative pressure with the use of a suction device on the skin. The negative pressure technique that is used, achieves a wide range of responses, ranging from extreme relaxation to therapeutic. A cup is positioned at the area to be treated and, depending on the type of cups being used; a vacuum is created within the cup to draw the skin and underlying tissue into the cup. The suction level can range from light to heavy, and the movements performed by the therapist can be either stimulating or sedating, depending on the needs of the client. The produced vacuum creates a suction effect that increases blood circulation to the local area, relaxes muscle tissue and releases a myriad pain causing factors. Softens tight muscles, tones attachments, loosens adhesion and lifts connective tissue by creating suction and negative pressure. This same suction also brings hydration and blood flow to body tissues, consequently drains excess fluids, toxins by opening lymphatic pathways (a vital part of the immune system).
