BENEFITS OF MASSAGE
Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress-related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. Massage is an effective tool for managing this stress, which translates into:
-
Decreased anxiety.
-
Enhanced sleep quality.
-
Greater energy.
-
Improved concentration.
-
Increased circulation.
-
Reduced fatigue.
Massage can also help specifically address a number of health issues. Bodywork can:
-
Alleviate low-back pain and improve range of motion.
-
Ease medication dependence.
-
Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body’s natural defense system.
-
Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles.
-
Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts.
-
Improve the condition of the body’s largest organ—the skin.
-
Increase joint flexibility.
-
Lessen depression and anxiety.

Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks.
-
Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation.

After Your ACE Massage Cupping™ Session
-
Drink plenty of the purest water you can find
-
Do not exercise until the next day
-
Avoid chills, drafts or excessive heat for 4-6 hrs.
-
Avoid hot showers, steam, sauna until the next day (use warm water)
-
Do not receive other bodywork for 48 hours as this could overload your system or complicate the work that was done.
-
Remember that ACE Massage Cupping™ therapy starts working on opening lymphatic pathways for those who have “solid bloat”, debris and congestion, or specific trauma to the tissue, often with dramatic results. Subsequent sessions clear deeper layers of old congestion and restriction to effect significant change in conditions.
-
If you are receiving the body cocoon, it is important to avoid showers or baths until the next day.
-
Skin discolorations reveal old blood trapped in the tissue and will dissipate between 1-4 days.
-
Call your therapist with any questions you might have.
-
Burning sensations can occur and have often indicated a renewed blood flow to the tissue or natural separation of old adhesions in the fascia.
-
Tune-in to the messages your body sends, including a change in sleep patterns, appetite, thirst, mood, energy, elimination of fluids and solids, how clothes fit, digestion, breathing capacity, pain levels, endurance, recovery time (athletes) and any other changes that you notice.
