BENEFITS OF CUPPING THERAPY
•Pain Relief: Cupping is commonly used to alleviate various types of pain, with evidence suggesting it may help with chronic back, neck, shoulder, and knee pain.
•Muscle Relaxation and Recovery: The suction helps loosen tight muscles and fascia (connective tissue), reducing stiffness and aiding recovery, which is why it is popular among athletes.
•Improved Blood Flow and Circulation: By expanding blood vessels, cupping draws more blood to the treated area, delivering oxygen and nutrients which supports healing and cell repair.
•Reduced Inflammation: Increased circulation and the stimulation of the body's natural healing response (e.g., producing cytokines) are thought to help reduce inflammation.
•Enhanced Mobility: By breaking up scar tissue and fascial adhesions, cupping can improve flexibility and range of motion in joints and muscles.
•Stress Reduction and Relaxation: The treatment can stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting a calming effect and overall sense of well-being.
I am now starting to integrate silicone cupping into my massage session (when needed). Although there ARE contraindications for some issues I believe this addition will enhance sessions and help to further facilitate the body’s recovery and healing.
See you on the table!😊
