✨ Targeted Cupping for Postpartum Relief ✨
Cupping along the outer glutes can make a profound difference in how the body feels after pregnancy and childbirth. This area which is home to the gluteus medius, minimus, and the attachments of the piriformis is often overloaded from months of postural changes, hip widening, and compensating for core instability.
When these muscles tighten, they can refer pain into the lower back, hips, and even down the legs. Cupping therapy works by creating negative pressure that gently lifts the soft tissue away from underlying structures, increasing blood flow, lymphatic drainage, and oxygen delivery to fatigued muscles. This helps reduce inflammation, release fascial adhesions, and restore mobility.
For postpartum clients, this technique not only eases muscle tension but also supports pelvic alignment, improves circulation in the healing phase, and promotes overall body balance. Combined with massage, it’s a powerful way to reconnect with your body, relieve discomfort, and enhance recovery. 💆♀️🌿
