My client made an appointment because she has recurring pain and tightness in her left hand side. It pulls through her shoulder, head and face.
She was curious about cupping, but didn't want the marks as she has a wedding to attend and doesn't want to look like she's been hugged by a squid!!
After some deep tissue massage to the back, neck and shoulders, I used my cups. Rather than attach a cup and leave it, I moved it around. I spent an equal amount of time on both sides of her back.
The dark marks are caused by a build up of metabolic waste, sluggish circulation and tight muscle fibres.
Here is what the client says, a few hours later.
'Generally I can feel a lot less tightness, especially in my neck and shoulders. My mid back feels a little bit tender and warm and my lower back feels more grainy like the tension has been released from being deep and is more near the surface'
