Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is a form of alternative medicine commonly used to treat muscle pain in the neck, shoulders and back. It can benefit anyone experiencing muscle tension or tightness — not just athletes.
During cupping therapy, multiple suction cups — made of glass or plastic — are applied to certain areas of the body. The suction draws the skin upward, increasing blood flow and promoting healing of the underlying tissue.
Who Can Benefit?
Cupping is suitable for a wide range of people, from athletes looking to aid recovery to office workers with chronic neck and shoulder tension. It is often used alongside physiotherapy or sports massage for best results.
