The Therapy Cups
We use two types of cups, Aviation and Silicone. The cups are made with the highest medical grade silicone to ensure that they do not cause any allergic reaction or leave any harmful residues; like some product that are available on the market. The silicone cups are the most practical for mobile treatments, making it easier to carry as they take up very little space.
