Thai Yoga originates in Thailand and features assisted stretches, joint mobilization and acupressure integrated from Chinese and Ayurvedic Medicine. The rocking motion that often accompanies the strokes has a soothing effect on the nervous system and helps the body restore its energy.
Cupping is a form of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM) that has been used in various cultures for centuries. I use Silicone Cups to create a vacuum that pulls soft tissue away from underlying structures, helping release myofascial restrictions and increasing local circulation to support tissue health. Typical massage adds pressure onto tissues, which may be counter-productive in areas where tissues are particularly dense or tight already. The effect of the decompression/negative pressure created by the cup can be very therapeutic. Temporary painless marks resembling bruises will sometimes appear after cupping therapy. These are due to the unlocking of stagnant blood/fluid and typically disappear within a week post-treatment.
