What is cupping therapy, exactly?

Our Warminster, PA and Lansdale, PA physical therapists apply inverted rubber pumps or silicone cups to your skin during cupping therapy. During treatment, your therapist will suction the pumps/cups onto your skin. As the air in the cups cools, a vacuum is created, causing the skin to rise and blood vessels to enlarge. This vacuum promotes relaxation and increases blood flow while relieving pain and inflammation.

As a result, neural tissues, fascia, skin, ligaments, muscles, and tendons are more prone to dislocation. Cupping therapy relieves trigger points, improves circulation, and aids in the breakdown of scar tissue.

What are the benefits of cupping therapy at UNIQ PHYSICAL THERAPY

This treatment has numerous advantages. Cupping has been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of a number of conditions, including chronic neck pain, low back pain, and fibromyalgia.

It can benefit your skin, alleviate respiratory issues, and even aid digestion. Suction in the cups produces negative pressure, which improves hydration and blood flow to body tissues, reduces bonding, and eliminates excess fluids. Cupping therapy can also help with the treatment and relief of symptoms related to injuries and illnesses.

It is critical to understand that cupping can cause circular bruises on the skin that last for two weeks. These bruises usually heal on their own and are not cause for concern!
