Cupping Therapy
What Is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping therapy is a technique that uses suction cups placed on the skin to improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, and promote recovery.
It is commonly used alongside physiotherapy treatment for muscular pain and stiffness.
How Does It Work?
The suction created by the cups gently lifts the skin and soft tissues, helping to:
Improve blood flow
Reduce muscle tightness
Promote relaxation
Support tissue recovery
Temporary circular marks may appear after treatment and usually fade within a few days.
What Does the Treatment Feel Like?
Patients may feel a brief twitch response or mild soreness during or after treatment. The procedure is generally quick and well tolerated.
