Cupping Massage
Have you ever wondered why women get cellulite and men don’t? It all comes down to the connective tissue.
- In women, the connective tissue is formed in vertical columns.
- In men, the connective tissue is formed in a crisscross pattern.
Due to the structure of women’s connective tissue, the fat has a tendency to bulge out at the top of the column, creating the orange peel appearance of cellulite. Men don’t have this problem since the crisscross pattern of their connective tissue keeps the fat tight and smooth.
However, not all women struggle with cellulite, so this obviously isn’t the norm for EVERY woman. Due to the structure of women’s connective tissue, the fat has a tendency to bulge out at the top of the column, creating the orange peel appearance of cellulite. There is plenty you can do to stop cellulite in its tracks, your anatomy and genetics play a role, but controlling cellulite is mainly a lifestyle issue.The first step in getting rid of cellulite is following a healthy diet and exercise regularly. However since the problem lies with the connective tissue and not necessarily the fat, this isn’t a complete fix.
One of the best ways to address cellulite is through cupping massage. Cupping helps reduce cellulite in 3 important ways:
It helps stretch and relax the hardened connective tissue beneath the skin, increasing elasticity and helping reduce the dimpled appearance of cellulite.
It promotes healthy circulation of nutrient-rich blood, rejuvenating the skin and underlying tissues.
It stimulates the flow of lymph, part of your body’s natural detoxification system. This helps dissipate fluid retention that emphasizes the appearance of cellulite. Massage cupping is also used to relieve back and neck pains, stiff muscles, spinal congestion, speeds up muscle recovery, reduces inflammation.
