BODY MASSAGE WITH A CHINESE BUBBLE

What is Chinese Bubble Massage?

Chinese bubble massage is a traditional therapeutic method originating from Chinese medicine, which involves the use of special cups (usually made of glass, rubber, plastic, or silicone) to create suction on the surface of the skin. This process entails drawing the skin and subcutaneous tissue into the cup, with the aim of improving blood circulation, reducing pain, eliminating toxins, and stimulating the body's natural regenerative processes. Cupping massage can be applied to various parts of the body, such as the back, thighs, arms, and abdomen, and is often used for therapeutic, relaxation, and cosmetic purposes, such as combating cellulite. This technique can be performed dry, where the cups are moved over oiled skin, or wet, where after a short application of the cup, gentle incisions are made in the skin. Regular use of Chinese cupping massage can contribute to improving overall health, relieving muscle tension, and enhancing skin elasticity.

How to Prepare for a Chinese Massage?

To properly prepare for a Chinese bubble massage, it's beneficial to take several steps that will enhance the comfort and effectiveness of the treatment. First and foremost, on the day of the massage, avoid consuming heavy meals about an hour before your appointment, and refrain from drinking large amounts of coffee or alcohol, which can affect skin sensitivity. It's also recommended to gently cleanse your skin to remove any residual cosmetics and impurities, allowing the cups to adhere better and the massage to be more effective. It's important to stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water before and after the session to aid the detoxification and regeneration process. Additionally, wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that can be easily removed and put back on is advisable, and you should inform your therapist of any potential health issues such as skin conditions, varicose veins, or sensitivities, which will help avoid undesirable side effects and customize the treatment to your individual needs. If it is your first time undergoing this type of massage, it's worthwhile to obtain detailed information from the specialist about the process, benefits, and possible sensations during the session to better prepare yourself and alleviate any concerns.
