Benefits of Cupping Therapy

Dr. Lisa Corsa, Physical Therapy, Osteopathy and Athletic Training, says cupping therapy has been around for so many years in Chinese medicine. "It moves stagnated fluid; when you do not move it, you lose it. The tissue and the blood flow gets stagnated, so when you suck up the skin, you also are sucking up the thin layer of connected tissue under the skin to help release the pressure to remove the dead tissues, to remove the dead fluid, and improve the circulation."

She points out it is a fantastic modality, not just for athletes, but for people playing softball with their friends on weekends, for example.

Hot Stone Massage vs. Deep Tissue | Hot Stone Massage

The difference between hot stone and deep tissue massage is essentially, that with hot stones, you're going to be using hot basalt stones. With the heated basalt stones, it's actually easier to access the muscle tissue much faster on a deeper level than with deep tissue massage.

So, that might be enjoyable in some circumstances. But, the big difference is though, and why some people might prefer deep tissue massage, is that you can access the body with the hands in a lot more variety of areas and with more nuance than you can with the stones.

The stones, while they provide you more depth faster, they actually limit the areas of the body that you can access comfortably. The other nice thing about a great tissue massage is that you're incorporating the flow of Swedish massage in between to sort of, give you that feels so good feeling in between that injury treatment.
