BODY CUPPING
Body cupping therapy is a traditional practice that uses specially designed cups on the skin to create suction. This negative pressure boosts blood circulation, enhances lymphatic drainage, and activates the body’s healing processes. Originating from traditional Chinese medicine, cupping is known for promoting relaxation, rejuvenation, and overall wellness.
Aurah offers two cupping techniques to ensure a personalised experience. Static myofascial cupping involves placing cups on specific tight or tender areas for 5 to 10 minutes, which provides concentrated therapeutic effects and deep relaxation. The gliding cupping technique utilises high-quality therapeutic oils, allowing silicone cups to glide over broader muscle groups. This method enhances circulation and promotes tissue mobility for a soothing massage effect.
