Request AppointmentWhat Is Cupping Therapy?
CN Physiotherapy employs cupping therapy to help treat pain and movement restrictions. This treatment method, also known as “tissue distraction release,” has roots in ancient Chinese, Egyptian, and Middle Eastern medicine.
Cupping therapy uses suction to lift tissue and improve circulation while helping reduce tension and inflammation in targeted areas of the body.
If you are looking for a natural treatment option to support pain relief and mobility, cupping therapy may be worth exploring.
How Does Cupping Therapy Work?
During cupping therapy, our Ottawa physiotherapists apply inverted rubber pumps or silicone cups to the skin. The cups create suction that gently lifts the tissue.
As the air inside the cup cools, a vacuum effect develops. This suction increases blood flow, reduces inflammation, promotes relaxation, and helps improve mobility in affected tissues.
Cupping therapy may help release trigger points, reduce scar tissue adhesion, and improve circulation to muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments, and surrounding soft tissues.
Benefits of Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy may provide relief for a variety of painful or restrictive conditions while supporting movement and recovery.
Improve Circulation
The suction created during treatment helps increase blood flow and hydration to targeted tissues.
Reduce Muscle Tension
Cupping therapy may help release trigger points and reduce stiffness or tightness in muscles and fascia.
Support Recovery
Cupping is often used to help support recovery from injuries, chronic pain conditions, and movement limitations.
