Cupping & Massage Therapy for Rotator Cuff Injury & Thoracic Spine Mobility
Cupping therapy is a soft tissue treatment that uses suction to improve blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and promote healing. It can be beneficial for rotator cuff injuries and thoracic spine mobility issues, particularly in reducing pain, improving range of motion, and enhancing circulation.
1. Cupping for Rotator Cuff Injury
The rotator cuff consists of four muscles (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis) that stabilise the shoulder joint. Injuries such as tears, tendinitis, or impingement can cause pain and restricted movement.
Benefits of Cupping for Rotator Cuff Issues:
✔ Increases blood circulation to promote healing.
✔ Reduces muscle tightness and trigger points in surrounding areas.
✔ Improves lymphatic drainage, reducing swelling and inflammation.
✔ Enhances range of motion and flexibility in the shoulder.
Deep tissue work was included within this 1 hour session to align the posture prior to cupping therapy.
