Cupping
EACH PATIENT WILL HAVE THEIR OWN CUSTOMIZED PLAN OF CARE BASED ON THEIR IMPAIRMENTS, DEFICITS, AND GOALS TO RETURN TO NORMAL ACTIVITY
HOW CUPPING WORKS
Cupping therapy involves placing specialized cups on the skin to create suction. This decompression technique lifts the skin, fascia, and muscle layers, promoting increased blood flow and healing. Each patient will have their own customized plan of care based on their impairments, deficits, and goals to return to normal activity.
HEALTH BENEFITS OF CUPPING
Cupping is an ancient therapy utilized in modern sports medicine to enhance recovery. It aims to reduce inflammation, promote tissue healing, and relieve muscle tension. The benefits include improved blood circulation, enhanced lymphatic drainage, and reduced fascial restrictions. Athletes undergoing cupping often recover faster and return to their sport with improved mobility and less soreness.
CUPPING FREQUENCY
The suggested frequency for cupping is highly individualized, depending on the nature and severity of the condition. Patients may undergo sessions typically 1-2 times a week during intense training blocks or acute recovery phases. It is often combined with other manual therapy and active rehabilitation exercises for optimal results.
