My wife frequently has tired and sore upper back muscles. Sometimes, she even finds it difficult to move her head and upper body. Ventosa Massage Cupping Therapy has helped her a lot. This technique "sucks" out what we call "lamig" in the Philippines while the treatment. You will seek the lump inside the glass on your back gradually shrink towards the end of the session. To see is to believe!
Ventosa Massage Cupping Therapy is performed by placing glass on definite accupoints on your back. A technique is used to generate a vacuum inside the glass settled on your back which lifts the skin. The practitioner then moves the cup toward the covering parts of the body sucking the air away.

At Chris and Chat Spa, we ask our patients to lie on their back for this therapy. We only use cups made of strong glass to ensure our client's safety. To generate a vacuum, a flame from a burning cotton ball is settled in an upside-down cup. When the oxygen in the cup burns out, the cup is settled directly on the skin where it is held in place by a strong suction. This draws the skin up inside the cup. Don't worry, this will not burn your skin. The flame is just needed to generate vacuum for the suction effect.
The skin inside the cup reddens due to the strong cupping which indicates that circulation has been brought to the surface. There is a deep warmth and tingling sensation after the treatment. Ventosa Cupping is generally a painless procedure. The redness should disappear in a day or two.
It's involving to note that this technique is known to open the "Meridians" of the body. Agreeing to primary Chinese medicine, the flow of "qi" travels throughout the body in channels called Meridians. These are the conduits straight through which vigor flows to every part of the body. Illness results when the qi is blocked at definite points or is not flowing properly throughout the body.
Ventosa Cupping opens these Meridians in the body. The stagnated and out of balanced qi can be restored by exerting suction and pressure resulting in invigorating vigor flowing throughout the body. Cupping can also be used when qi needs to be drawn to the covering of the body from deep within to nourish muscles and the skin.
To maximize the benefits of a true therapeutic massage, we propose undergoing Deep Tissue Massage after a Ventosa Cupping Massage.
