Massage Cupping is here!

What if you found a tool that could finally help undo the years of abuse from sports, athletic pursuits, and general life and shenanigans you inflicted on your body? Enter massage cupping. Adhesions and knots will quake with fear and eventually submit to their demise with the proper use and skills.

Chakra cups from Lure Essentials

These bad boys are flexible but durable silicone cups from Lure Essentials. I place them over tense or tight areas for several minutes then move into massaging with them.

What is so special about these massage cups and why should I give this a try? Traditional massage, massage guns, and foam rolling compress the tissues. Massage cups provide a myofascial decompression technique by lifting, stretching and hydrating the tissue. This allows for improved lymph and blood circulation which results in faster healing.

After years of long distance running and cycling and not taking the proper time for recovery, I’ve got a whole lot to work on. I can say, for my own body, that these are doing better than any massage gun or foam roller for relieving myofascial dysfunction. Of course you have to combine it with other things, like strengthening and stretching, for long term improvement but these really are a game changer! Plus, they’re so pretty, right?

I hope you come in and give them a try. Happy training!
