Cupping is a type of alternative therapy that originated in China. It involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. The suction helps to promote bloodflow. Cairns Massage Champions uses a modern approach to cupping therapy by using a rubber pump instead of burning to create the suction within the cup. This allows the cup to be easily manoeuvred on the skin for a massage-like effect. Cupping therapy may help relieve shingles, facial paralysis and acne along with many other conditions. Sports massage is the use of massage for the treatment and prevention of sports injuries.

Other benefits include improved relaxation, minimal muscle tension, higher range of movement, scar tissue improvement and better muscle recovery by raising blood circulation to the affected spot.
Also called deep tissue massage, remedial massage targets painful points and releases tension. During your massage, we will try to identify any key trigger points, which might be causing pain and deliver a remedial massage targeted to your needs. A trigger point is a tight area within muscle tissue that causes pain in other parts of the body. The results and benefits of trigger point massage are releasing constricted areas in the muscles thus alleviating pain. You can experience a significant decrease in pain after just one treatment.
