DEVICE

AERO vacuum cupping device

The treatment consists of 5 sessions (approx. 30 min) of vacuum massage. The vacuum pump provided by the device provides a type of vacuum massage, that can be adjusted according to applied suction and air flow. The resulting massage technique provides a type of soft tissue manipulation similar to the ancient traditional medicine technique of cupping. Nonetheless, this automated technique allows for more precise determination of the massage characteristics.
