Have you noticed people walking around with little red round marks on their neck, back or shoulders? These come from cupping therapy.
How Does It Work?
Cupping therapy involves the use of cups placed on the skin to create a suction. This suction causes the area in the cup to decompress that area of muscles, facia, and skin.
Cupping can be stationary or cupping can be done by moving the cups around the the body. Cups are typically left for 8- 10 minutes depending on the person.
Benefits of Cupping Therapy?
Release scar tissue and fascial adhesions
Reduce painful trigger points
Improve circulation, blood and lymph circulation
Relieve pain
Promote mobility and range of motion
Improves mature scars
Decrease toxins
What to expect after treatment?
Mild soreness is to be expected from the buildup of lactic acid in the muscle tissue, but less soreness than a deep tissue massage. Bruises are to be expected and can last up to a week. Physical exertion and heat are not recommended after the treatment.
How long will the cupping marks last?
Any discoloration or marks from cupping usually go away within 7 days of the session.
What conditions does cupping work best for?
lower back pain
neck and shoulder pain
headache and migraine
knee pain
shingles
facial paralysis
cough and dyspnea
acne
lumbar disc herniation
cervical spondylosis
brachialgia, the pain produced by a trapped nerve in the neck
