If you’re wondering whether dry cupping therapy is right for you, here are four scenarios where dry cupping therapy could be the perfect addition to your health, fitness, and wellness routine.
1. You train hard in the gym
Whether you exercise recreationally or competitively (like bodybuilders and CrossFitters), intense gym sessions take a toll on your muscles, joints and nervous system. Increasing blood flow to your worked muscles is one of the best ways to speed up muscle recovery after a workout.
Dry cupping therapy can shorten your recovery time and optimize your training plan by delivering essential nutrients and oxygen to hard-worked muscles.
2. You’re an athlete
Dry cupping therapy has risen from the ranks and claimed its stake as one of the top recovery tactics for athletes — and this is for good reason. Dry cupping therapy is essentially a form of soft tissue manipulation comparable to massage therapy, percussive therapy, and the Graston technique.
All of these modalities have the same goal: Break up adhesions in the muscle tissue, encourage blood flow to specific tissues, and expedite muscle healing (exactly what athletes need to perform their best day after day)
3. You have a job that requires manual labor-We see all you hard workers out there. If you work in construction, landscape management, production, cars or another manual labor industry, we’d be surprised to hear you say that you don’t have any aches or pains.
Even those who work jobs that aren’t necessarily manual labor, but involve a lot of activity (such as nursing and serving tables) can benefit from dry cupping therapy. If you make good use of your hands, feet, arms, and legs for work, ask our team how dry cupping therapy can keep you at 100%.
4. You have chronic low-grade pain such as pesky muscle aches - can benefit tremendously from dry cupping therapy.
Aside from muscle recovery from workouts or competitions, chronic pain is likely one of the most common reasons people seek dry cupping therapy, due to the soothing massage-like effects of the therapy.
