@massage_by_rose: Cupping doesn’t always mean “put the cups on and walk away.” 👀 I use cups as another tool to change how I interact with the tissue. Sometimes they stay stationary. Sometimes I glide them. Sometimes I add passive or active movement underneath them. The negative pressure gives me something my hands can’t: decompression instead of more compression. And when I find an area where the cup grabs and doesn’t want to move? 👀 That gives me information too. From there, adding movement lets me work with the tissue while the body moves through the pattern I’m trying to influence. Basically: the cups aren’t the treatment. It’s what I do with them that matters. And yes… sometimes you leave looking like you lost a fight with an octopus. 🐙😂 #massagetherapy #cupping #cuppingtherapy #massage #massagetherapist
