VacuTherapy is a modern adaptation of the ancient Chinese technique of cupping therapy and possess the benefits of traditional use, along with many incredible new applications. This term is used to name a genre of bodywork that uses suction and an “active cup” to facilitate homeostasis. By creating suction and negative pressure, VacuTherapy can be used to soften tight muscles and tone attachments, loosen adhesions and lift connective tissue, bring hydration and blood flow to body tissues, and drain excess fluids and toxins by opening lymphatic pathways. VacuTherapy has demonstrated immediate effects on many conditions including:
VacuTherapy can be used to move stagnation, relieve inflammation, and drain/move fluids. The action is similar to the action of fomentations/hot compresses. The mechanism is to draw blood from the arteries to the capillaries. The blood then returns via the veins to be cleansed or disposed of.This technique can also be used to lift and stretch soft tissue (muscle, fascia/connective, attachments), separate fused tissue layers (i.e. ITB and TFL), release and soften scar tissue, open body drainage systems to aid in decongesting “solid bloat” and increase hydration of tissues.
Cupping has been used extensively for asthma and pneumonia. The respiratory system and phlegm respond very well to cupping therapy and this can ease labored breathing. The effect on the nervous system is sedating and is widely used for high blood pressure conditions, anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, chronic headache, neuralgia and rheumatism. Pain relief is quick, and long-term injuries and restrictions can release in one or a few treatments. Scar tissue softens quickly. Lymph drainage with cupping therapy can greatly benefit pre- and post-operative conditions and may assist in the healing process. The same drainage, breakdown of stagnation and adhesions will assist in contouring the body and improving the appearance of cellulite.
