At Promedma,  there is NO additional charge for cupping integrated into your medical massage treatment

Cupping therapy is a traditional therapeutic method with a history of over two thousand and three hundred year in China. Its has evolved from the traditional glass/fire cupping to silicone cupping. Both provide a negative pressure with suction within the jar but we feel silicone cupping is safer because there is no fire or glass involved.

The advantages of silicone cupping

- shape of the silicone jars can be changed so the  jar can be applied on the body in a wider range and places that are uneven like       joints

- the surrounding muscles can still be worked while the cups remain in place

- active and passive range of joints can be incorporated into the treatment.

- is a food grade silicone and easier to clean the traditional glass cups
