Cupping

Cupping

Cupping is one of the oldest and most effective techniques for releasing toxins from our organs and soft tissue. It has been used for thousands of years to address a variety of ailments, including soft tissue work. Therapists at Boise Physical Therapy 180 use vacuum cupping to create suction and cause the tissue beneath the skin to be drawn up, swell, and increase blood flow to the affected area. Increasing blood flow under the cups draws impurities and toxins away from the nearby tissues and allows them to be carried away by our circulatory system. Cupping is non-invasive and stimulates blood flow and lymphatic drainage. It increases blood flow, synovial secretion within our joints, and stimulates proper healing at a cellular level. Like the other forms of manual therapy we use at Boise Physical Therapy 180, cupping can improve pain perception, improve ROM and joint mobility and increase connective tissue and muscle elasticity. 

The therapist or acupuncturist places cups on the muscles/tissues surrounding the back, neck, upper extremities, lower extremities, and stomach. There are different cupping methods used during a treatment session that may include static cupping, dynamic cupping where the therapist places lotion on the skin and gently moves the cups along the tissues being treated. Cupping with dynamic movements/exercises can also be used to help decrease pain and increase strength during the activity.  

What should I expect during and after cupping treatment? The suction force from cupping should not be painful but may feel tight as the soft tissue and skin is drawn up. This suction force may cause your skin to have round red or purple coloring during and after treatment that may last several hours or up to a week.  This is not harmful and may also cause bruising which is beneficial. There should be no significant discomfort after treatment.
