Medical Cupping & Decompression Massage Therapy
The most advanced system for Medical Cupping is Decompression Massage Therapy (DMT). It is a natural, non-surgical, and painless therapy that focuses on the treatment of soft tissue through the application of alternating negative pressure. DMT offers a wide range of therapeutic and aesthetic benefits for both health and beauty.
DMT allows the body to function with increased efficiency by temporarily reducing the amount of pressure it feels. The Earth’s average atmospheric pressure is 14.7 pounds per square inch. When this weight is alleviated from a spot in the body through the use of negative pressure, the blood is able to flow much faster and the muscle receives more stimulation. The result is a substantial delivery of the nutrients and oxygen that are found in the blood which enable the body to heal itself, repair tissue, detoxify, and make aesthetic improvements.

The DMT system is an FDA approved Class 1 medical device that intends to provide effective results without the risks and negative effects of chemicals, injections, or surgical procedures. A DMT certified practitioner applies suction to the skin of the target area. With alternating amounts of negative pressure, a pulsing action stimulates the soft tissue below. The process is soothing, quick, and has no adverse side effects or recovery time.
The premise for the DMT system dates back 3,000 years to the Egyptians who used negative pressure as a primary healing methodology. Today, physical therapists and chiropractors use decompression therapy to passively exercise a limb or joint and to reduce fluid build-up. Surgeons use the therapy on people who have recently had surgery, while hospitals are using the systems to treat wounds, lesions, and incisions. The spa industry is also seeing great results in facial renewal, body contouring, and general wellness.
