What is Cupping
Cupping is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine that uses suction cups on specific areas of the body. The air inside the cup is removed to create a deep stretch in the muscles, ligaments, and fascia underneath. This process helps reduce tension and relieve pain. The pulling effect of cupping also improves blood flow, which supports healing and reduces inflammation. Cupping for pain relief is back by research from the Cleveland Clinic
Types Of Cupping: Static & Gliding
Static Cupping
The most common form of cupping is static cupping, where a cup is left on the targeted area for 2–6 minutes. This process may leave temporary red or blue circles on the skin, which fade within a few days.
Benefits of Static Cupping:
- Increased blood flow
- Local muscle stretch
- Faster recovery
- Pain relief
Gliding Cupping
Gliding cupping involves gently moving the cup across the skin. Rather than circles, this method often leaves red or blue streaks along the treated area.
Benefits of Gliding Cupping
- Reduced fascial restrictions
- Increased range of motion
- Faster sports recovery
- Pain relief
