Massage Cupping Techniques with Anita Shannon: Feet

Anita Shannon of ACE Massage Cupping™ http://www.massagecupping.com/index.html is at the Oakworks facility demonstrating ACE MediCupping™ and CAM applications for Vacutherapies™ massage. She is using the Oakworks ProLuxe™ electric lift Massage Table with the adjustable breast comfort system along with other Oakworks accessories. http://www.massagetables.com/ Current vacuum therapies are a modern use of an ancient tool and possess the benefits of traditional use, along with many incredible new applications. This therapy utilizes glass or plastic cups and a vacuum pistol, bulb or machine to create suction on the body surface. These cups are moved over the skin using gliding, shaking, popping and rotating techniques while gently pulling up on the cup, and are parked for a short time to facilitate joint mobilization or soft tissue release. This suction can reach deep into the soft tissue or can work superficially to pull inflammation and toxins toward the surface so that the skin and lymphatic system can readily eliminate them. Scar tissues often release quickly, despite the age of the injury or keloid tendencies.
