Cupping therapy circulates fresh blood flow to tight muscles to loosen the connective tissue and relieve pain.
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine that is performed by placing cups on the skin, to create suction. The suction within the cups creates negative pressure, which helps to increase hydration and blood flow to body tissues, ease up adhesions, and eliminate excess fluids.
While the popularity of cupping has significantly increased in the past recent years, it isn’t a new practice. In fact, it is centuries old and has been a well-utilized therapy in ancient cultures.
Today, it is used as a way to relieve pain, promote relaxation, enhance blood flow, and ease inflammation.
It can sometimes create bruises on the skin that can last up to two weeks. Bruises typically resolve themselves with time and should not be of concern.
During the cupping therapy process, the cups are glided across different areas of the body in order to lift and separate tissue. This works to enhance the release of the interfaces between the neural tissues, fascia, skin, ligaments, muscles, and tendons. It relaxes muscles, releases trigger points, improves lymphatic flow, increases local circulation, and releases scar tissue adhesion.
Evidence supports cupping as an effective treatment method for several conditions, such as chronic neck pain, low back pain, and fibromyalgia.
