Cupping therapy is possibly one of the oldest forms of therapy as there is evidence of its existence dating as far back as 3000 BC in Egypt. Cupping has been used in China for millennia. This therapy involves using cups and some method to create suction and pressure on the skin. Traditionally the practioner would use small pieces of burning paper placed inside the cup and then apply it to the skin. The oxygen in the cup would burn away creating suction and an air tight seal on the skin.

Marque Gritta LMBT uses an advanced mechanical vacuum pump to ensure that the right amount of negative pressure is applied to the client. The pressure can be adjusted from a very gentle suction for facial cupping to a more intense pressure for deeper tissue therapy. In this therapy, the cups are continually moving and lifting the tissues away from the skeleton.
