Cupping therapy isn't a new therapy, in some form it has been around since ancient Egyptians.

There are different methods of cupping, here at Worthing Reflexology I offer massage cupping with dry Hijama cupping.

Cupping massage can be compared to a deep tissues massage but instead of pressing on the muscles it creates a suction which in turn creates negative pressure and lifts the muscles and fascia.

Hijama cupping is a "static" cupping where the cups are being left on precise points for few minutes,using suction pump. These two methods are combined for extra benefit and after innitial assesment.

I also offer cupping on feet combined with reflexology -this is very beneficial for plantar fasciatis

Cupping incurages increase of blood flow to affected areas. This blood is oxyganated and contains essential nutritions that enable healing and helps geat rid of any stagnant toxins.

Cupping has an effect on up to 4 inches into the tissue.
