This book explains the modern massage version of cupping therapy, an ancient alternative treatment to reduce pain and inflammation and improve blood flow.

"This book provides a step-by-step guide to modern vacuum therapy, which stems from an ancient healing technique that creates suction and negative pressure through the use of both stationary and moving cups on the skin. A form of alternative medicine, the cups create suction that helps with pain, inflammation and blood flow, and can provide relief for sciatica and sinus congestion. More than 200 photos and full colour pages make it easy to follow the author's instructions."--
