What Is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping therapy is a hands-on treatment used by physiotherapists to help reduce muscle tension, improve blood flow, and restore movement. Specialised cups are placed on the skin to create gentle suction, which lifts and decompresses the underlying tissues. This can help relieve tight or restricted muscles and improve how the area moves and feels.
Who Can Benefit From Cupping Therapy?
Cupping therapy may be helpful if you experience:
- Muscle tightness or stiffness
- Neck, shoulder, or hip pain
- Sports or training related muscle soreness
- Headaches linked to muscle tension
Your physiotherapist will assess whether cupping is appropriate for you and tailor it to your condition and comfort level.
