Cupping therapy is an ancient healing technique that some people use to ease pain. A provider places cups on your back, stomach, arms, legs or other parts of your body. A vacuum or suction force inside the cup pulls your skin upward.
Hijama, also called cupping therapy, is a traditional treatment where cups are placed on the skin to create gentle suction.
This suction helps improve blood circulation, reduce muscle tension, and remove stagnant blood from painful or tight areas.

Benefits:

Reduces muscle pain

Improves blood flow

Helps in headaches & back pain

Relaxes tight muscles

Supports healing

How it works:

A trained therapist applies cups → suction is created → blood flow increases → toxins and waste products clear from tissues.

Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) the restriction is not because of one muscle, but due to tightening of the joint capsule around the shoulder. However, certain movements and muscle actions are most affected:

🔹 Movements Most Restricted:

External Rotation (most limited)

Abduction

Internal Rotation (later stage)

🔹 Muscles Functionally Affected:
Because of capsular tightness, the rotator cuff muscles (especially:

Supraspinatus → abduction

Infraspinatus & Teres Minor → external rotation

Subscapularis → internal rotation

also face resistance during movement.
Commonly follows a “3-stage pattern”:

Freezing stage – pain and increasing stiffness.

Frozen stage – marked stiffness, pain may reduce.

Thawing stage – gradual recovery of movement.

🔹 Physiotherapy Role

Pain management (heat, ultrasound, TENS).

Gentle stretching and mobilization.

Strengthening exercises for surrounding muscles.

Posture correction and home exercise program.

🔹 Recovery Time

Can take 12–18 months for full recovery.

Early physiotherapy speeds up mobility restorationFrozenShoulder
