MASSAGE & MYOFASCIAL CUPPING
Every body is different, and Leah does her best to customize each session using traditional/swedish and deep tissue massage (or not, if that's your preference!). Myofascial cupping can be incorporated into sessions if desired (this is included with your treatment at no extra cost). Cupping uses negative pressure/suction on the skin in order to draw up skin and superficial muscle tissue/fascia inside the cup. Fascia is connective tissue that covers the entire body and is wrapped around tendons, ligaments, bones, muscles, blood vessels, organs, nerves and body systems. Cupping helps lift and separate the fascia, which can lose it’s flexibility, becoming tight and restrictive due to overuse, poor posture, injury or repetitive strains. If you're new to cupping please note that it temporarily discolours the skin (reddish or purplish) for as long as a few minutes to weeks.
