For teenagers
24.08.2019

Hello, girlfriends! Just this Sunday I saw young ladies in the bathhouse who were giving themselves a massage with anti-cellulite cups, but they were doing it absolutely wrong, and that’s why now I’ll tell you one thing that makes this massage really work. Let's look at how to do cupping massage with different sides. Let's try to do it on our own and find out how to make it at home.

The benefits of vacuum massage

This method is available to every person. Beginning with ancient Rome and China, medical cups are widely used in medical practice to cure “bad blood”. This technique is also known in Arab countries. In Rus', cupping was used to treat colds.

With the development of medicine and cosmetology, it became known that vacuum cupping massage is also useful in the fight for the beauty and health of the skin.

Vacuum massage can be manual (cupping) and hardware. Under the influence of this massage, blood circulation in the human body improves, the circulation of lymph and interstitial fluid disappears. congestion, the skin breathes better, becomes elastic, it is easier for it to endure mechanical and temperature effects, swelling decreases.


Where does cellulite come from?

Cellulite is formed as a result of hormonal imbalances. Many people believe that “orange peel” appears only in people with skin conditions, and thin people are not bothered by this problem. Unfortunately, it is not.

The problem is not in the fat itself, but in the connective tissues. Conventionally, it is a mesh that keeps fat closer to the muscles.

If the “cells” of this mesh expand, fat appears through them, resulting in skin unevenness.

This problem can befall anyone, because the reason is not the amount of fat, but the metabolic processes of the body. That is, the reason is human health.

From this we can conclude that procedures to improve the elasticity and smoothness of the skin should be accompanied by a healthy lifestyle, as well as getting rid of bad habits such as smoking, drinking alcohol, etc.

How does cupping massage work?

The vacuum, in contact with the skin, acts as a kind of irritant for fatty tissue. Thanks to this, we can massage ourselves from the inside, splitting and breaking up all the tubercles.

There are two types of vacuum massage - hardware and cupping. The principle of the hardware action is the same, only instead of a can a certain bowl is used, which is connected through a hose to vacuum apparatus, which alternately pumps and sucks out air.

Salon or home conditions?

According to reviews, if you do this procedure at home, you can save a lot. The result will only be better from this.

You will be able to devote more time to yourself and not take risks, entrusting your body to someone else’s hands, and not waste time on the way to the salon. You don't have to crowd the subway or stand in a minibus after a procedure that is so relaxing and soothing.

At home you will completely relax, body and soul leaving all thoughts and worries for later. Reviews from salon clients also say that this procedure is quite expensive, especially if it requires repetition. At home using minimum costs, you get the opportunity to massage several times.

Preparation for the procedure

In order to have fun and not harm yourself, before doing vacuum massage, it is necessary to prepare the skin well. You need to clean and warm it up.

For this it is best to take warm bath approximately 5-7 min. or stay under a hot shower, and then “scrub” your body a little with help.

It can be ready-made professional product, and made at home.

Homemade scrub can be made from:

  • coffee grounds
  • olive or essential oil.

We thoroughly rub the problem areas with this scrub - usually these are, and.

How to lubricate the skin before massage

After scrubbing, we wash ourselves in the shower and moisturize the skin with special oils. Under no circumstances carry out the procedure on dry skin, this can cause harm (bruises and discomfort). What are these special oils and creams? And here...

  1. Anti-cellulite cream. To enhance the effect when performing cupping massage, it is recommended to lubricate the skin not with oil, but with anti-cellulite cream or other special cosmetic product. Do it like a pro: mix it with massage oil, since by itself it is absorbed too quickly and does not allow vacuum jars to slide.
  2. Store-bought massage oil or massage cream . You can find special oils for cellulite on sale. According to reviews, it helps a lot pepper oil.
  3. Homemade massage oil(ala hand-made). This remedy consists of base oil— you can take olive or grape or apricot oil, and the anti-cellulite effect is provided by essential oils. The proportions are as follows: for 10 ml of base oil - a few drops of essential oil.


All citrus fruits, cinnamon, black pepper, rosemary, lavender, carrot seeds, geranium, and vetiver have an anti-cellulite effect.

It is very effective. It can activate the outflow of lymph, and also remove excess fluid, making the skin more elastic and toned.

Juniper oil improves metabolism, removes toxins and relieves swelling.

Cedar oil saturates cells with oxygen and improves blood circulation in the skin.

Do not forget:

  • components must be compatible with each other;
  • essential oils should be added to the base oils, but in no case vice versa;
  • The container in which you mix the ingredients must be clean and dry.

A few words about banks

You cannot do this kind of massage with simple cups; you need to purchase special jars for vacuum massage at the pharmacy (it is better if they are silicone jars). Although in salons they most often use massage cups with a vacuum sealer.

And now you can start the massage. To do this, you need to squeeze the can by applying it to your body. Then press down, it should stick to the skin.


As you massage, observe how your skin reacts.

Doctors recommend carrying out the procedure for no more than 5-10 minutes for the first time. When you see that the massaged area has turned red, you need to stop the massage and continue it on another part of the body. Redness means that this effect on this moment enough.

We remove the can in the same way - squeezing it, displacing the air. At the end of the session the best solution will cover yourself with something warm, completely relax, allowing your body to rest.

Massage technique

Well this is it main secret massage. Watch and read carefully!

The thing is that if you simply move the jars over the body, it will not bring any results. Let's look at each part of the body separately, and indicate how to do it correctly and how not to.

1. Legs

When doing a foot massage, you need to remember two rules:

  • Do not massage the inner thigh.
  • Movements should be from bottom to top and only in vertical massage lines.

2. Buttocks

First we do circular movements, and then up and down.


3. Belly

First of all, circular movements are made clockwise, and then from the navel to the sides.

4. Hands

Massage from hand to shoulder using straight massage lines.

5. Back

There are several here different ways. See picture

Who should not do cupping massage for cellulite?

Yes, there are many useful things in this method of fighting for beauty. But we are all very individual and each of us has our own characteristics.

If you decide to try this type of massage, we recommend that you consult with your doctor first. This procedure has a number of contraindications. For some diseases, anti-cellulite massage with cups can be harmful.

  • If your skin is very sensitive or there are many moles, it is better to use lighter procedures and not resort to vacuum massage.
  • People with elevated blood pressure This method is not recommended.
  • If you have weak blood vessels or with varicose veins, vacuum massage, like varicose veins, will only make things worse, stars and veins will become more noticeable, and new ones may appear.
  • Such massage also has a bad effect on the body during pregnancy, during acute infectious diseases and in the presence of a tumor.

Cupping massage - a procedure during which the body is exposed to a vacuum created in special jars intended for massage.

The benefits of cupping massage is to improve lymph circulation and blood circulation in tissues, skin, organs and provide them with nutrition.

Initially, cupping massage began to be used to treat acute pain, pneumonia, joints and other diseases more than four hundred years ago in China. Then instead of cans they used deep tea bowls.

In addition, the technique received wide use in many countries of the East - in Japan and Tibet, Korea, Mongolia and others. In these countries, cups were used for massage different sizes made from glass, clay, bamboo.

Cupping was also actively used in hospitals for the treatment of bronchitis, pneumonia and other diseases, and for the first time they were useful for human body was proven in 1926 therapist V. Kh. Vasilenko.

Today this type massage is used to treat many diseases, as well as for cosmetic purposes, for example to get rid of cellulite. Many people confuse massage and simple placement of cups on the patient’s body.

In fact, these procedures differ significantly- when the cans are installed statistically, they remain in place for the entire session, and the massage is carried out by moving the cans across the body in straight, circular, zigzag and other movements.

As a result of the procedure:

  • the tone and elasticity of muscle tissue increases significantly;
  • pain and pathological reflexes resulting from pinched nerves are eliminated;
  • blood circulation improves, the process of hematopoiesis is activated;
  • body temperature decreases;
  • swelling decreases and recedes inflammatory processes, progressing in tissues and joints;
  • the process of microcirculation of blood and intercellular fluid, lymph is normalized;
  • breathing improves, phlegm is removed;
  • stimulated biologically active points and body zones;
  • greasy and sweat glands are purified, and toxins, urea, acetone and other metabolic products are removed;
  • immunity improves;
  • Cellulite disappears and excess fat deposits disappear.

Indications and contraindications for massage

The procedure should be carried out for those who have been diagnosed the following ailments:

  • elevated muscle tone accompanied by pain;
  • diseases of the nervous system in various stages;
  • myositis;
  • osteochondrosis in various stages;
  • radiculitis;
  • colds;
  • tracheitis;
  • pneumonia (not in the acute stage);
  • scoliosis;
  • respiratory diseases;
  • bronchitis.

Cupping massage is used during rehabilitation after long and serious illnesses. The procedure helps to quickly recover and strengthen the immune defense.

Despite the positive effect of the procedures on the body, cupping massage also has a significant number of contraindications. Sessions cannot be held during:

  • the presence of moles in the area affected by cupping;
  • severe exhaustion;
  • tuberculosis;
  • the presence of infectious diseases;
  • malignant tumors;
  • very high temperature;
  • strong and rapidly developing skin inflammatory processes;
  • thrombophlebitis;

  • varicose veins in the place where exposure is expected;

  • rheumatism in the development stage;
  • blood diseases;
  • pregnancy;
  • extensive pigmentation of the skin.

IMPORTANT! You cannot use massage cups on the kidney area, spine, internal surfaces shoulders and hips, on the mammary glands.

Types of cups for massage

Banks are needed to carry out the procedure. Their choice is determined by the place of application and its sensitivity, the characteristics of the massage and the desired effect. To make the main massage attribute, we use following materials:

  1. Glass. Glass jars are not in great demand due to the complexity of use and the painfulness of the procedure, the likelihood of damage to the skin, since glass is a fragile material. But they also have advantages: they do not absorb odor at all, are easy to clean and are not stained by cosmetics used for massage. Glass jars with rubber suction cups are also available, which eliminates the need for fire.
  2. Silicone. Silicone jars are optimal massage devices that combine reasonable price and decent quality. They can be used all over the body, while at home it is optimal to use two cans at once, one for each hand.
  3. Rubber. Banks made from this material are the easiest to use, but they have a short service life, absorb odors and are stained by cosmetics for massage, and are difficult to wash.
  4. Cans and vacuum pump. This set is more expensive than other massage devices, but includes many parts suitable for each part of the body. The kit may also include a magnet, which makes the massage procedure even more effective, since the effect of vacuum is combined with magnetotherapy.
  5. Latex. The effect of latex cans is similar to that of silicone products, but due to their higher strength, such devices are more expensive. As a rule, they are sold in a set consisting of 2 pieces - one has a round hole and is intended for massaging a wide area, and the second has an oval hole and is used for massaging areas that are difficult to access.

IMPORTANT! When choosing cans for massage, it is important to take into account not only the material from which they are made, but also the size - for the back, buttocks, thighs, cans with a neck diameter of up to 8 cm are suitable, and for the abdomen - up to 5 cm. If you are planning a facial massage, then jars are purchased with a minimum neck diameter.

Classic massage

This procedure requires tweezers, alcohol, cotton wool, and glass jars. Algorithm for its implementation is:

  • a cotton swab is moistened in alcohol, clamped with tweezers and set on fire;
  • burning cotton wool is placed inside the jar for a few seconds;
  • the jar is placed on the body.


Massage movements are straight, the cans should be moved from the lumbar region to the neck and in the opposite direction. Such movements are combined with spiral, circular and others.

Massage is carried out 5-15 minutes, after which the jar is removed from the body and cleaned. The patient is recommended to lie down for at least 20 minutes after the massage, covering himself tightly.

Tibetan technique

Exists two varieties of Chinese techniques performing massage:

  1. The patient lies on his stomach, a special Tibetan candle is placed on his back, which is immediately covered with a jar. The massage technique itself is similar to the algorithm for classical massage.
  2. In the second option, the candle is moved around the body so that the most painful or problematic areas warm up, and the effect on biologically active points becomes maximum. Only after this a jar is placed on the candle and the massage is carried out using circular, zigzag and spiral movements.

After completing the procedure, the body is wiped with a napkin and a restorative hand massage is performed for several minutes, consisting of stroking and longitudinal and transverse movements. Now the patient has to rest for 15 minutes wrapped in a blanket and drink herbal hot tea.

Cupping massage without fire

This massage option is suitable for people whose skin is different hypersensitivity . This massage can also be done for children. So after preliminary preparation carry out:

  1. Massage with rubber cups. A finger is placed inside the jar and it is placed on the body, then pressure is applied to its upper part, and the finger is sharply removed. Banks move throughout the body in any direction.

  3. Massage with piston cans. The peculiarity of this method is the installation of cups: the massage therapist presses on the piston, places the jar on the body, releases the piston and performs a massage, performing movements in any direction. The jar is removed by pressing your finger on the skin under the jar so that air gets inside it.

IMPORTANT! After the cupping massage procedure, you should rest, covered with a warm blanket, for a quarter of an hour. It is also recommended to drink herbal tea.

Bruises after a massage: is this normal?

The appearance of bruises on the skin after the procedure can be considered normal; they arise due to the intense impact on the body during the procedure.

Such bruises do not pose a health hazard, and even have some benefit- during the procedure, under the influence of cupping, old, poorly functioning capillaries break, thereby activating the growth of new ones, which has a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin.

To reduce the number of bruises and the intensity of their color, after the procedure, anti-edema agents or venotonic drugs, which include Lyoton, Troxevasin and the like, can be applied to the skin. Such products help prevent and reduce bruises.

Rules for performing cupping massage at home

But for maximum efficiency, you should comply with certain requirements:

  1. Massage can only be performed on clean skin, otherwise there is a high risk of inflammation. For complete cleansing, you need to take a shower and use a scrub.
  2. A clean body warms up within 5-7 minutes as usual. manual massage. During this time, the skin is kneaded, rubbed, and lightly patted so that it turns slightly red. It shouldn't hurt.
  3. On at this stage cream or oil should be applied to the skin sufficient quantity, but you shouldn’t rub them in. Cans can be installed using one of the above methods - with or without the use of fire.
  4. When installing the cups, make sure that the skin is not sucked in more than one and a half centimeters. If severe pain occurs, the intensity of exposure should be reduced.
  5. After installing the cans, they proceed directly to the massage - the movements are directed along the outflow of venous blood and lymph, that is, when massaging the legs, the cans are moved from the ankles to the pelvis, when massaging the back - from the neck to the lower back, and when massaging the abdomen - clockwise.
  6. The procedure lasts a quarter of an hour, after it you need to rest in a warm place for at least 15 minutes and drink herbal tea.

Hardware vacuum massage

The procedure is carried out by specialists in salons, and main feature there is less damage to blood vessels than when performing other similar procedures. The effect of this type of massage is due to the alternate creation of two types of vacuum:

  • permanent (destroyed fat cells, excess fluid is removed from the tissue);
  • variable (microtraumas are created in the connective tissue, to which the body reacts by producing more structural protein and accelerated healing).

The masseur moves massage attachment (bowl), connected by a tube to the device, in different directions, while monitoring the force of impact. The session lasts about 15 minutes, after which residues are removed from the patient’s skin. cosmetic product and a light massage is performed.

How to do cupping massage at home, watch the video below:

Spring began suddenly for us, and I urgently began to remember the entire arsenal of my anti-cellulite products that helped me last year. This also includes jars for vacuum massage. That is, cupping massage.

If you stick to correct technique Massage with cups, affecting the lymphatic drainage lines, and not running them over the body as necessary, you can achieve good results in a fairly short time.

About how I went for a cupping massage to a specialist and photo result After 10 procedures I posted it in THIS REVIEW.

And here I will tell you about what I learned there. That is, how to properly massage with silicone cups.

And I'll show you. I didn’t sleep for two nights, I drew;)

What we need:

Ideally:

1) Hands from the right place

2) Massage oil

*** I want to make a note here. Potent oils (with pepper, warming, with essential oils, added personally) it is better not to use. Cupping massage in itself is quite aggressive, and there is no need to aggravate this matter. Otherwise there is a risk of spider veins will increase significantly.

I use Galenopharm. It is pleasant, gentle and rather weak in action. Exactly what you need.

3) Well, actually, the heroes of the review are our miracle banks. In the amount of two pieces.

Optional:

Rubbing brush. Very good stuff on its own, and here too - a reliable assistant.

How to do anti-cellulite vacuum massage at home:

1. I first rub myself with a massage brush. On a dry body. In the direction from bottom to top, from the toes to the chest, from the back - from the heels and up in straight lines, then - each hand, from the toes - to the shoulders.

Then - shower with scrub. For such cases I use FLORESAN. As I said, it is better to avoid aggressive products, so I use it in its original form, without coffee - it has very weak scrubbing particles. Perfect fit!!

2. Apply massage oil. A little more than a thin layer. So that the cans slide well. I do a manual massage on the body so that the skin is prepared and there is no pain. This can also protect your skin from unnecessary bruising.

3. Well, I begin the vacuum massage itself.

I won’t tell you what to do with the cans, how to suck them to the body and how to regulate the degree of suction: even my three year old child the first time without explanation.


THE MOST IMPORTANT.

Remember this and never forget.

You can't get a massage here!

In the groin area - absolutely. It’s also better not to do it on the inside of the thighs yourself, because the neurovascular bundle runs there. And the wrong ones careless actions are fraught with bad consequences.

I don’t know what caution means, so I personally prefer not to touch this area during either a honey massage or a cupping massage. Which greatly affects the results: this place was worked out worse than all the others.

Contraindications to performing vacuum massage:

VARICOSIS AND PREDISPOSITION TO IT

Pregnancy

High pressure

Presence of skin diseases

Cupping massage technique:

For greater efficiency, the cups should be moved along the blood flow. I drew how ;))

Draw a line with the can - tear it off (that is, smoothly remove the can). It’s better not to make movements back and forth :)) If you move the jar chaotically, it will not give an anti-cellulite effect, it will only warm up the tissues.

1. Sides- from the center to the groin area. First, do a very light and imperceptible vacuum, then more strongly (2 circles)

* Back I won’t show it, because it’s impossible to do this with self-massage.

* I'm against abdominal massage with cupping, I didn’t do it, how to do it correctly - I don’t know exactly. Therefore, I also skip the “belly” point.

2 Buttocks.

Mentally divide the butt into parts:

We draw an imaginary line from the sacrum to the protruding bone on the thigh. We massage what is inside inward. What is outside - in the direction outward :))

3 Hip:

Along the white line I indicated there is a line dividing the lymph flow.

From the outside we move outwards, slightly at an angle,

From the inside - inwards. And very carefully, with minimal pressure. Remember about the lymph nodes!

4. Hips again.

To consolidate the effect, you need to slightly modify the movements of the can. We will follow the general lymph flow.

Just from bottom to top. But this is only on the legs. The movements on the buttocks do not change.

And so there are several approaches.

5. Before canning anterior thighs We do a quick manual lymphatic drainage massage: knees in all directions, legs in the arrows.

6. The front surface of the thighs. Massage.

Once again, look at the picture above and remember the areas where it is prohibited to use cans.

And then we work out problem areas with banks. Towards the inguinal nodes. Don't forget about prohibited places.

Then we consolidate the effect with manual massage, and again with cupping. Along the same lines.

The hardest and most painful place is the hips on the side. There you need to do it most leisurely, most carefully. There should be no pain, as it compresses the blood vessels and reduces the effect of the massage.

Manual massage again.

How long to perform cupping massage- it's an individual matter. We need to look at the body's reaction. For some, 2 approaches to one place are enough, for others, even five is not enough.

But still, it’s better not to overdo it.

How often to do: ideally every other day. The course is at least 10 procedures.

If you approach the matter thoroughly and alternate this massage with salt baths and wraps, the result will not be long in coming:))

The leather will be especially pleased with its quality:

Any woman or girl, constantly going to the mirror, checks the presence of cellulite on her skin by pinching a small area of ​​skin with her fingers. The appearance of even small signs of cellulite while squeezing the skin with your fingers can provoke panic, but it is absolutely in vain. Indeed, the fat cells that are located in these areas serve as a source of estrogens - female hormones. They are responsible for standard activities female body.

In addition, cellulite is likely to worsen during pregnancy, when hormonal changes occur, which are accompanied by sudden activity and a decline in the production of certain elements.

What are the stages of cellulite?

Experts in this field focus on several stages of cellulite. The first stage is barely noticeable and is considered a natural result of the activity of the female body. It was specifically mentioned at the beginning of the article. There is no need to treat this stage of cellulite. Only preventive massage sessions can be carried out; they will be useful for maintaining and nourishing the skin.

The second stage has distinctive features in the form of swelling. The consequence of this is the formation of collagen and hyaluronic acid in the skin. This period requires monitoring of skin changes, since with a lack of restorative measures, cellulite can switch to its most severe form.

The third stage characterizes the transformation of cellulite into the famous “ orange peel": excess fat begins to stand out significantly. Skin changes begin to occur, which are accompanied by a loss of flexibility, and the skin begins to become significantly rougher. Doctors classify the third stage as a group of local obesity.

This stage of cellulite becomes a disease that requires medical treatment. Fat cells grow uncontrollably. This inhibits the activity of capillary vessels, causing sudden skin changes. The fourth stage is already called “sclerosis of the dermatological integument.” The disease is accompanied by impairment of activity endocrine system and metabolic failure.

General information about silicone massage cups

It has long been considered one of the most effective types of massage. The silicone vacuum massage jar is not an ordinary glass jar. Such massagers are made from silicone or rubber. It must be taken into account that the jar must be soft. A set of 2 massage cups can be purchased in most pharmacies. They are sold in almost every pharmacy for quite a bit. a small amount. It is very important to read and save the instruction manual. It is included in every jar package. The manual shows all the massage directions in which you should massage.

In addition to the silicone jar, you will need oil for massage, preferably thermoactive. The use of essential oils must be treated with caution, since overheating during a massage can cause a thermal burn. It is enough to add 3-5 drops of light essential oil, for example a citrus type. Massage oil, like any other essential oil, you can buy it at any pharmaceutical point without any problems.

Before massaging, you should warm up and cleanse the skin. A scrub is used for this purpose. The use of special anti-cellulite hot scrubs is allowed; you can also make it yourself, for example, using honey and freshly ground coffee as a basis.

The scrub is not only able to remove dead skin cells and open pores, but also guarantees nutrition for the skin, especially using a honey-coffee scrub, since this particular structure is considered anti-cellulite. Then the scrub is washed off with hot water and begin to apply warm oil to the problematic area. Don't skimp on the amount of oil. It will ensure easy movement of the can throughout the body, preventing rupture of capillary vessels.

The massaging itself must begin by installing a silicone jar. To do this, you need to squeeze the jar with two fingers and apply it to the skin, which causes a vacuum to form inside. To prevent the development of bruises, the silicone cup should be constantly moved from bottom to top. The suction level of a silicone vacuum can should be set independently.

A massage session should last 20-40 minutes. The course is carried out every two days for a month. Then you should take a break in the procedures, since the skin tends to get used to a hard massage, and its effectiveness decreases. It is more correct to start the following procedures after 1.5 months of rest.

It cannot be said that silicone cups against cellulite formations guarantee pleasant feelings during the massaging period. At first painful sensations will be large, and the skin will be covered with bruises. But, by the end of the course, the skin will be significantly transformed and painful sensations will go away along with hematomas. The main thing you should know is that you need to take care of your skin after a massage. To do this, you can apply anti-cellulite cream to the massaged area.

If you want to carry out additional care behind the skin, it is possible to wrap the body with cling film, wrap yourself in warm blanket and rest for half an hour. During this period, the oil will be able to saturate the skin and remove bad toxins and excess fluid. Then the remaining oil should be washed off warm water With detergents and apply anti-cellulite cream to problem areas.

  • skin problems (eczema, etc.);
  • mycosis of the skin;
  • damage to the skin (wounds, scratches, abrasions);

Banks are very convenient because they do not require heating. Simply squeeze the can slightly and the air will escape. During this stay, the jar should be brought to the skin area and released - the jar will stick to the body. If the vacuum is too strong, you should remove the jar (the easiest way to do this is to press it with your finger on the skin near the rim of the jar), squeeze again, but a little looser, a little weaker, and apply it to the treated area of ​​the body. Silicone jars for vacuum massage are very simple to use and convenient, but they do not hold a constant shape (like plastic or glass jars). Therefore, to master anti-cellulite massage with silicone cups in the back, abdomen, thighs, and face, you will have to try. However, later, especially in the facial area, it will not be at all difficult to carry out such a massage.

Advantages of silicone vacuum jars

Massaging with cups makes it possible to normalize blood circulation in problematic areas of the body that are difficult to work out even with intense physical activity.

This type of massage promotes blood flow. This helps supply skin cells with oxygen and improve it. In addition, the intercellular space and cells are deprived of pollutants and toxins. If there are certain skin imperfections in the form of scars or scars, they can smooth out a little.

Intensified cupping massage of difficult areas of the body can help not only restore beauty, but also normalize the health of the body. Such procedures can be very useful for certain nervous diseases. Massaging with cups has a relaxing effect, despite the acceptable pain.

Characteristics of silicone vacuum jars

Massage cups, which are made from silicone, are more flexible and soft than rubber cups. In pharmaceutical stores you can buy a whole variety of different diameters.
