CUPS!!
EDGE
ZEN
CHAKRA
A combination of plastic and silicone, these cups create their suction power by squeezing the silicone bulb and placing the plastic along the body similar to a suction machine. The circumference of these cups is smaller than most other cups making it a great choice for cupping smaller body parts or conditions like TMJ, hand and face muscles. These cups can be used statically or dynamically.
XTRM XRNGY
Adapted from the Zen cups, the Xtrm Xrngy cups have a cinched waist, great hand feel, strong but comfortable base making it perfect for both dynamic and static cupping treatments.
GRPS
When strong suction is required, these cups are the number one choice. These cups come in two different sizes. They can be applied using two different methods, one of which is a very strong inverted method that is great for tissues that need a lot of lift. They are used primarily for static cupping can also be used for light dynamic cupping. Good for ITB, plantar fasciitis, trapezius tightness.
GLAM
A smaller cup that can be used for smaller muscles and soft tissue or areas that are pain dominant. Great for facial muscles and muscles of mastication. Also good for port holes following surgery
ENERGY
Affectionately known as the flip flop cup, this cup is a shell-like cup that is applied either by flipping it inside out and back over again, or by placing the cup base side down and pressing down into dome. These cups are used in static positions only and are great for cupping contoured areas and areas that don’t have huge soft tissue bulk like the plantar surface of the foot.
