MASKS REQUIRED DURING SERVICE
I understand a wearing a mask is required during service and while in the building. If you do not bring a mask, Anjou Spa will provide one to you. I Agree CUPPING DISCLOSURE & CONSENT Your massage therapist utilizes every available means, including written and verbal intake, and visual and tactile clues in order to give a safe and effective treatment. Massage Cupping is a therapeutic decompression technique used by massage therapists, acupuncturists and bodyworkers for the relief of muscular pain, tension, and congestion. These techniques are used to draw out congested fluids and toxins to the surface tissue layers, allowing for fresh blood and lymph circulation. The resolution of stagnation and granulation in the tissues often brings an immediate relief from pain. Massage Cupping uses negative pressure created within a specialized glass or rubber cup that is applied to the affected body part. The pressure can be deep to provide relief from tension, pain and injuries. Gentler pressure increases lymph flow, circulation and relaxation, and is excellent for facial treatments. There is a possibility of discoloration that can occur from the release and clearing of stagnation and toxins from the body. The reaction is not bruising, but the cellular debris, pathogenic factors and toxins being drawn to the subcutaneous layers for dissipation by the circulatory system. The discoloration will dissipate in as soon as a few hours or up to 1 week, and in relation to after-care activities. It is important to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, and avoid vigorous exercise for 24 hours after treatment.
