Cupping is a therapeutic technique used by Chinese practitioners for over 3000 years. The treatment is performed by a practitioner creating suction within a glass or plastic cup, then placing the cup onto the desired area of treatment. The cups can either be leftover from one location or moved over a region of the body.
Cupping is safe, effective, and can be used to treat a variety of pathologies, including sore and stiff muscles, aches and pains associated with traumatic injury, and neuromuscular dysfunctions. Cupping improves local blood circulation, stimulates tissue repair, and increases joint mobilization and range of motion. Cupping also breaks up tight fibrotic myofascial bands and scar tissue, reduces pain, improves lymphatic drainage, and stimulates neuromuscular education.
