Unlock Pain Relief and Recovery with Cupping Therapy
Are you struggling with muscle tightness, chronic pain, or restricted mobility? Whether you’re an athlete, an active adult, or someone simply looking to move and feel better, cupping therapy may be the game-changing solution you need. At Altus Performance Physical Therapy, we incorporate cupping therapy into treatment plans to help our clients recover faster, relieve pain, and improve performance.
What is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping therapy is a practice used to enhance circulation, reduce muscle tension, and accelerate recovery. It involves placing specialized cups on the skin to create suction, which lifts the underlying tissue, increases blood flow, and promotes healing.
Unlike traditional massage, which applies downward pressure, cupping decompresses tissues, making it an effective technique for addressing stubborn pain and mobility restrictions.
The Benefits of Cupping Therapy
Cupping is more than just a trendy wellness treatment—it’s a proven therapy with numerous benefits, including:
- Pain Relief: Reduces tension, stiffness, and chronic pain in muscles and joints.
- Improved Circulation: Enhances blood flow, bringing oxygen and nutrients to targeted areas for faster healing.
- Enhanced Mobility & Flexibility: Releases fascial restrictions, helping you move more freely and efficiently.
- Accelerated Recovery: Speeds up muscle recovery post-workout or after injury.
What to Expect During a Cupping Session
At Altus Performance Physical Therapy, cupping therapy is integrated into a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs and goals. Here’s what you can expect:
- Assessment & Treatment Plan: We evaluate your movement patterns, pain points, and recovery needs to determine the best approach.
- Application of Cups: Cups are placed on the skin and create suction, which may cause a mild pulling sensation.
- Customized Techniques: We may use static cupping (leaving cups in place) or dynamic cupping (moving cups along the muscles) depending on your condition.
- Post-Treatment Effects: You may notice temporary redness or circular marks, which indicate increased blood flow to the treated areas. Most clients feel immediate relief and improved movement.
