Cup Massage
By Kate Steplton
Cup massages are a form of massage therapy
that isn’t all that common. Most people when they think of a massage
think of a typical massage of the muscles Perhaps a Swedish massage, a
shiatsu massage, or even perhaps a hot lotion massage comes to mind.
Even people with serious back disorders and injuries go only so far as
having electronic stem massages, which involve attaching small
electrodes to tight muscles so that electronic charges can be sent in
to stimulate the muscle. Or perhaps they will get a deep massage
followed by heat and ice.
Cup massages are serious massages that use
little rubber cups which are attached at various points to get a deep,
deep massage going. Cup massages are reserved for people with serious
or chronic joint or muscle disorder.
They are not used unless there is a serious need for them. They are usually performed in half hour to hour long sessions. There are different types of cup massages for different ailments, and there are of course different ways to alleviate such severe chronic pain.
Cup massages can help severely atrophied
muscles and chronic joint ailments, this is true, however, many people
who have these issues can’t use cup therapy because people with certain
side effects have problems with cup therapy. It can be dangerous for
them. In fact, many people with chronic disorders also suffer from
varicose veins, and it is not healthy for these people to utilize cup
therapy.
Also people with heart problems should not use cup therapy.
For these people, people who still need to alleviate sever pain that
they must deal with constantly, there are other avenues such as
acupuncture, blood letting, and they can alter diet and improve their
nutrition as well.
Acupuncture is the Chinese art of utilizing needles
to alleviate pain and pressure and it can help some people that benefit
from cupping, or cup massages. It uses many needles that locate
pressure points and nerve endings to stimulate deep muscles. Cupping,
like Acupuncture, is a Chinese form of massage therapy. Blood letting
is a bit more complex of a procedure, where blood is actually drained
from an area where there is swelling that has resulted from pooling
blood. It is more serious than either cupping or acupuncture.
Again, this procedure is not something that one should try of their own volition. All of these methods should be administered by experienced professionals, and should be carefully considered before they are undertaken with all health concerns considered.
While cup
massages and cupping techniques are clearly not a first option when it
comes to the alleviation of simple minor ache and pain, it is, in some
cases of chronic disorders, one of the few ways to alleviate severe
pain.
Clearly it is not a procedure to be taken lightly or to be used to help a pain that comes and goes, but if one suffers from agonizing constant deep pain in muscle structure or a joint, then perhaps cup massages should be considered.
