What is Cupping Therapy

Cupping is a kind of alternative therapy that originated in China. It involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. The suction may facilitate healing with blood flow because of movement of fascia. Proponents also claim the suction helps facilitate the flow of "qi" in the body. Qi is a Chinese word meaning life force. A famous Taoist alchemist and herbalist, Ge Hong, reportedly first practiced cupping. He lived from A.D. 281 to 341.

Cupping increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed. This may relieve muscle tension, which can improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair. It may also help form new connective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue. People use cupping to complement their care for a host of issues and conditions. We at C7Physio Healthcare have certified therapist for the usage of cupping. We believe in original concept of cupping and use it purely for muscle tension relief, detoxification and promote blood circulation. With muscle relaxation we achieve body mobility as well as decreased pain.

Types of Cupping Therapy

Cupping was originally performed using animal horns. Later, the "cups" were made from bamboo and then ceramic. The suction was primarily created through the use of heat. The cups were originally heated with fire and then applied to the skin. As they cooled, the cups drew the skin inside.

Modern cupping is often performed using glass cups that are rounded like balls and open on one end. There are many categories of cupping performed today:

  • Smart cupping: is a advanced method with Red-Light Therapy.
  • Dry cupping: is a suction-only method for back pain relief and relieve pain.
  • Wet cupping/Hijama cupping: may involve both suction and controlled medicinal bleeding for body detoxify and increased blood circulation.
  • Cupping massage: for muscle pain relief and improved relaxation.

Process of Cupping Therapy:

During a cupping treatment, few vacuum cups are placed on the skin and then heated or suctioned onto the skin. With dry cupping, the cup is set in place for a set time, usually between 5 and 10 minutes. With wet cupping, cups are usually only in place for a few minutes before the practitioner removes the cup and makes a small incision to draw blood.

After the cups are removed, the practitioner may cover the previously cupped areas with ointment and bandages. This helps prevent infection. Any mild bruising or other marks usually go away within 10 days of the session.
