Welcome to Healx Physio & Rehab
Cupping Therapy
CUPPING THERAPY has been used for thousands of years by different cultures and they used cups which are made up of different material from animal horns, bamboo, clay, metal, and glass. Today’s cups are made up of variety of material from glass, plastic, or silicone.
BENEFITS OF CUPPING:
- Stimulates Superficial Circulation.
- Desensitizes superficial pain patterns: Relief can be brought to these potentially aggravated nerve endings by simple, gentle cupping.
- Encourages blood flow within muscles, enhances the movement of accumulated metabolic waste and lymph, lifts and stretches the tight muscles and decompresses any pressure on nerves that may passes through the muscles.
- Promotes lengthening of tight muscles.
- Relieve acute inflammation of joints (working more proximal area).
- Relieve chronic inflammation of the joint.
- Improve movements of joint by offering overall joint flexibility and improves mobility of joints.
- Light suction over the skin promotes relaxation and deep suction addresses muscular compression (such as sciatica).
- Promotes muscles recovery.
- Encourages lymph drainage.
