What is Cupping and how can it help you?
Cupping is a therapeutic technique that uses specially designed cups placed on the skin to create gentle suction. This suction helps to lift and decompress the underlying tissues, promoting increased blood flow and relieving muscle tension in targeted areas of the body.
Cupping can be beneficial for people experiencing muscle tightness, restricted movement, pain, or stiffness, particularly in the back, neck, shoulders, and limbs. By improving circulation and reducing tissue restriction, cupping can help decrease pain, enhance mobility, and support the body’s natural healing processes.
This technique is often used alongside other physiotherapy treatments such as massage, exercise therapy, and stretching to maximise results. While cupping may leave temporary circular marks on the skin, these are painless and typically fade within a few days.
At Corio Physiotherapy Group, cupping is applied safely and tailored to your individual needs. Our aim is to help reduce discomfort, improve movement, and support your recovery so you can return to your daily activities with greater comfort and confidence.
