Cupping (Add-On)

Gliding cupping, also known as moving cupping or sliding cupping, is a variation of traditional cupping therapy. In this technique, cups are placed on the skin, and instead of leaving them stationary, they are moved or glided across the body's surface.

The gliding cupping technique combines the benefits of traditional stationary cupping with the added advantage of massage-like movements. As the cups are moved, they can help increase blood circulation, relax tense muscles, and reduce muscle knots and adhesions. The gliding motion also provides a unique sensory experience that some people find soothing and enjoyable.

Like other cupping techniques, gliding cupping may result in temporary discoloration of the skin. However, the intensity of these marks is generally milder compared to stationary cupping, as the cups are continuously moving and not left in one place for an extended period.

Gliding cupping is often used in combination with other massage or bodywork techniques to provide a comprehensive therapeutic session.
