Hairdressers, makeup artists, nail technicians, and estheticians you all spend the vast majority of your time on your feet. Taking care of others and giving all your energy to your clients may make you forget taking care of yourself in the way you would really need.
Sore muscles, achy joints, stiff back, and tired feet are a few things that may come along with being on your feet all day. Luckily, cupping can help ease each one of those issues! Some proper stretching of overused muscles can also release the tensions and of course a reasonable dose of exercising won ́t hurt either to strengthen your body. Especially your core, as core strength is what supports you throughout the day.
Try to incorporate this session, or parts of it, in your daily routine to bring your body to balance and hopefully you will notice the difference.

- Attach static cups on each side of the neck. Let them sit for 1-3 min.
- Move the cups to different places on the shoulders and around the neck if necessary.
- Place the static cups on each side of the spine, in the lumbar spine. Let them sit for 1-3 min.
- Then pull the dynamic cup along the edge of the pelvis out towards the hip, so that you reach the top of the gluteal muscle. Pull back and forth a couple of times on each side. If you are cupped by someone else – let the dynamic cup be pulled along each side of the spine muscle, from the pelvic edge up to the neck.
- Place a Static cup on the bottom of the forearm and one on the top. Let them sit for 1-3 min.
- For even better flow in the arm, work with the Dynamic Mini cup. Pull the cup from the wrist up towards the elbow a few times, then let the cup sit at the elbow for a few seconds.
- Place the Static cup in the middle of the palm, or/and top of hand and allow it to rest for 1-3 min.

- Then change legs and let the static cups sit while you cup the calf with the Dynamic Mini one.
- Place the static cups under the center of the sole of the foot on each foot. Let them sit for 1-3 min. You can move the cup to different areas under the sole of the foot.
