What is the difference between Massage Cupping bodywork and traditional Chinese cupping therapy

In traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), stationary cups are placed on the skin and left for a period of 5 to 15 minutes, and the cups may also be moved over the area. The goal of Chinese cupping therapy is to move stagnation of blood and chi, disperse internal heat, and other applications based on TCM diagnostics. Traditional cupping therapies are also generally used in many cultures on both adults and children for respiratory conditions, pain relief, and multiple other uses in home health care.

Massage Cupping therapy is a more commonly used tool for massage therapists and other health care practitioners. Before apply the cup, the therapist will administer oil or lotion to facilitate smooth movement. The entire back may be treated, including the neck, shoulders, middle and lower back, and sacral area.
