Cupping therapy or deep tissue massage: What you need right now?

Cupping therapy and deep tissue massage both are useful for you in the different ways. There are different types of massage that focus on different parts of the body or healing approaches.

Cupping therapy is the ancient form where the therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. People get cupping therapy for many purposes, including helping with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being and as a type of deep-tissue massage. Generally, cupping therapy is used to treat chronic pain—back pain and headaches, in particular.
The cups may be made of:
  • Glass
  • Bamboo
  • Earthenware
  • Silicone
It creates a vacuum when the air inside the cup cools. This causes your skin to rise as your blood vessels start expanding. A more modern version of cupping therapy uses a rubber pump instead of fire to create the vacuum inside the cup. Sometimes silicone cups are used, which they can move on your skin for a massage-like effect.

Deep tissue massage is a technique that’s mainly used to treat musculoskeletal issues, such as sports injuries. It involves applying pressure by using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues.

Many people get a deep tissue massage to help them to relieve chronic aches and pain. Some people feel that the benefits of deep tissue massage is to minimize the lower back pain, releasing tension in a stiff neck, sore shoulders, upper back, or loosening tight muscles in their arms and legs. Deep tissue massage is best suited for people who are involved in highly physical activities, such as running or those who have an injury or chronic pain.
