Ba Guan, or cupping massage, is another traditional Chinese medicine used to promote healing and relieve pain. This massage stimulates blood flow and promotes the healing of damaged tissues.
At Moon’s Massage Spa, we involve the application of glass, plastic, or silicone cups to the skin, creating a vacuum to draw the skin and underlying tissue upward.
The cupping massage can also treat sports injuries, as it can help reduce swelling and speed up the healing process. Some other benefits include reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and stretch marks.
Cupping therapy, or Ba Guan, is an ancient alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. This type of deep-tissue massage helps relieve inflammation and stimulates blood flow, relaxation, and overall well-being.
Cupping can cause side effects such as persistent skin discoloration, scars, burns, and infections and may worsen eczema or psoriasis. But there aren’t any severe side effects.
Please be aware that you may be approached in our parking lot by someone who asks you if you have an appointment for a massage, and will try to get you to follow them to get the massage you have scheduled. This person is NOT affiliated with Moon’s Massage Spa, and works for another spa nearby, and has been attempting to take our customers to their location which is nearby. Please be sure that you come to Moon’s Massage Spa, which is upstairs on the far left side of the building.
Thank you! Helen
