Traditional cupping, a method originating from China and West Asia, involves applying cups to different parts of the body as a healing therapy against pain and several ailments. These cups create a vacuum or suction on the skin, lifting it for improved circulation and increased blood flow to the area.
This therapy, also known as cupping or suction cup treatment, has been practiced for ages and is considered a branch of traditional medicine. Typically, cups are placed on body parts such as the back, stomach, arms, legs, or any area needing treatment.
The primary aim of cupping therapy in our practice is to manipulate blood circulation by either drawing blood toward specific areas of the body or redirecting it away from others. This suction effect is believed to offer therapeutic benefits, particularly in relieving pain associated with various conditions. Many individuals also report experiencing improvements in chronic health issues through regular cupping sessions.
This method involves applying cups with a gentle suction on the skin's surface. It's ideal for those seeking a mild therapeutic effect or individuals with sensitive skin who may find intense suction uncomfortable. Light cupping aims to stimulate blood flow and promote relaxation without causing discomfort.
This technique at Turning Point Physical Therapy provides relatively low-level suction toward the skin, serving as a mid-level option between gentle and strong cupping types. We find it to be versatile and effective for many patients, particularly those seeking therapeutic benefits such as muscle relaxation, improved blood circulation, and stress relief. Light cupping, also known as placing the cups further apart, can yield a comparatively strong result without causing significant discomfort, making it suitable for various therapeutic needs.
This means that we, as treatment providers, use cups that apply pressure to the skin, creating a very strong vacuum. This strong suction stimulates the deeper tissues more than the superficial suction cups and may offer higher healing rates. Nevertheless, cupping is favourable to individuals with certain therapeutic concerns where one requires pulling of the skin to be detected. Perspiring is said to assist in stress elimination, the relaxation of muscles together with the relief of pain, and detoxification, whereby toxins are transported to the skin surface.
Moving cupping is accomplished by putting cups on the skin and then moving the cups lightly on the skin with the help of massage oils. This is a combination of cupping with a rub on some areas of the body regarding this profession. Moving cupping plays a role in eradicating stress and rigidity in the muscles of the targeted areas, improving circulation, and preventing muscular inflammation, which turns out to be helpful for people with muscular dystrophy diseases.
Needle cupping combines cupping therapy with acupuncture. Acupuncture needles are first inserted into specific points on the body, and then cups are placed over them to create a suction effect. This method enhances the therapeutic benefits of acupuncture by providing additional stimulation to the acupuncture points. Needle cupping provides pain and stress relief management and also helps with digestive disorders.
Cupping using water is a delicate way we perform cupping. Cups are placed directly on the skin; they rely on the principle of suction, whereby we first apply the cups to the skin and then fill them with water before removing them sharply.
Cupping therapy provides a natural and effective method for addressing various health concerns and enhancing overall well-being.
