Cupping massage is a process where a therapist places several cups, typically made of silicone or glass, onto certain regions of a patient’s skin, usually the back, neck, and arms. Once all the cups are in place, the therapist draws air out of the cups, causing a vacuum to be created within.

Sports massage therapy is a much more intense sort of massage than the usual type of everyday massage. It incorporates manipulation of the soft tissue fibers and targeting of a number of pressure points. The design of this type of massage is to have the effect of speeding up the patient’s rate of recovery after physical activity.

Reflexology is a complementary, non-intrusive health therapy. Reflexology is based on a theory that precise and specific points of the lower leg, feet, face, hands, and ears all correspond with different areas of the body. Reflexologists work closely with their clients holistically to promote better health all around.

During a sports recovery massage, the therapist will typically use a combination of techniques to help promote relaxation, reduce muscle soreness and tension, and improve circulation. This may include deep tissue massage, stretching, and trigger point therapy.
