What does Schröpfkopfmassage mean?
Cupping massage is a traditional technique that enhances circulation, relieves muscle tension, and stimulates metabolism through suction on the skin. Cupping glasses or silicone cups are placed on the skin and gently moved to deeply stimulate the tissue.
This method combines the benefits of classical cupping with the effects of a massage. The created vacuum lifts the tissue, breaking up fascial adhesions, removing toxins, and reducing muscle tightness.
Cupping massage is often used for muscle stiffness, circulation issues, cellulite, or as a complementary therapy in detox treatments. It can be performed gently or intensely, depending on the desired effect and treatment area.
