Manual Cupping Therapy in Beaumont

We’re excited to introduce you to one of our unique treatments: Manual Cupping Therapy. This traditional technique, rooted in ancient medicine, is designed to enhance your overall well-being and alleviate a variety of musculoskeletal issues.

What is Manual Cupping Therapy?

Manual Cupping Therapy is an innovative form of alternative treatment that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. Unlike traditional cupping that may use heat or mechanical pumps, manual cupping uses a therapist’s hands to manipulate the cups and control the suction. This technique helps to improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, and promote healing.

How Does It Work?

1. Initial Assessment: Your journey with manual cupping begins with a thorough assessment by one of our skilled physiotherapists. We’ll evaluate your specific needs, medical history, and the areas you want to address.
2. Preparation: The treatment area is cleaned and prepared. Your therapist will choose the appropriate size and type of cups based on your condition and therapeutic goals.
3. Application: The therapist places the cups on the skin and creates a gentle suction using manual techniques. The suction helps to lift the skin and underlying tissues, improving blood flow and easing muscle tension.
4. Movement and Adjustment: Unlike stationary cupping, manual cupping involves moving the cups along the body to target specific areas. This dynamic approach can enhance the therapy’s effectiveness by reaching deeper tissues and larger muscle groups.
5. Post-Treatment: After the cups are removed, your physiotherapist may provide additional recommendations, such as stretches or exercises, to complement the cupping therapy and support your recovery.

Benefits of Manual Cupping Therapy

1. Enhanced Blood Circulation: The suction created by the cups helps to improve blood flow to the treated areas, which can accelerate healing and reduce inflammation.
2. Reduced Muscle Tension: By lifting the skin and underlying muscles, manual cupping helps to release tightness and alleviate discomfort from chronic muscle tension or strain.
3. Improved Range of Motion: Regular cupping sessions can help to increase flexibility and mobility, making it easier to perform daily activities and exercises.
4. Pain Relief: The therapy can provide relief from various types of pain, including back pain, neck pain, and muscle soreness.
5. Detoxification: The increased blood flow and lymphatic drainage facilitated by cupping can support the body’s natural detoxification processes.

What to Expect During Your Session

• Duration: Sessions typically last between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your needs and the treatment plan.
• Sensation: You might experience a gentle pulling sensation during the treatment. Some mild discomfort is normal, but it should not be painful.
• Aftercare: It’s common to see slight redness or bruising in the treated areas, which usually fades within a few days. We recommend drinking plenty of water and avoiding strenuous activities immediately after the session.
