Eastern cupping massage

Cupping is good not only for the abdomen and cellulite. It is also used to relieve back pain and muscle complaints. Cupping has much in common with acupuncture cups (therapeutic cups) used in folk medicine to treat many ailments. Cups reduce muscle tension that causes, for example, back pain, compression of nerve plexuses, and the gradual development of whole-body complaints.
