Cupping therapy is an ancient healing practice that involves placing suction cups on the skin to create negative pressure, which draws blood to the surface and promotes circulation in the affected area. Cupping therapy is used to treat pain, inflammation, and muscular tightness, and is commonly applied to areas such as the back, shoulders, and legs.
The suction created by the cups helps to improve blood flow, relieve muscle tension, and stimulate the body's natural healing processes. Cupping therapy is often used to complement other treatments like massage or physical therapy to enhance recovery and alleviate pain.
Cupping therapy can be particularly effective for individuals recovering from chronic pain, musculoskeletal injuries, or tension-related conditions, providing a non-invasive alternative to traditional pain management.
