Have you ever wondered what a cup is doing?
Here's a little graphic to give you a general idea. The biggest idea is that if you can tolerate the pressure it can provide a great influx of blood flow and potential healing.

There are different types of cupping, some are practiced frequently and some are rarely practiced today.
1. Flash Cupping - the cups are applied and removed in quick succession in order to create an effect on pain without a reactive effect on the skin.
2. Dry (Static/Fixed) Cupping - the most commonly used method where you most likely have a reaction spot.
3. Wet Cupping - is also called Hijama. After using dry cupping for up to 5 minutes, the therapist will make small incisions in the area. The cup is prepared once again and applied to the affected area. Blood will be drawn out of the body in the vacuum. (This is rarely used and you have to find a super clean practitioner to perform this if necessary).
4. Glide Cupping - involves moving the cup over the affected area, such as the back, to combine both massage and cupping due to the compression and decompression effect of an applied cup.

The mechanical response of cupping is creating space via a vacuum at the local level where the cup is applied.
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine where a cup is placed by a trained professional to create suction on the skin.
Cupping is used to treat pain and inflammation, improve blood flow, and create relaxation. Deep tissue mobilization is also a treatment that cupping can be used. Cupping has been practiced for at least 3000 years in Eastern Chinese medicine. Their premise to care was removing stagnation(pain) through cupping bringing qi(blood flow).

This is a sign... Now go do the home exercises that your PT or Chiro or Ortho gave you!
They did it for a reason. They did it because they care. They did it because they want you to get better.

Are they too easy or you forgot them? Ask them for new ones or a reminder. We're happy to remind you or to make them more difficult.
