Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy is a physiotherapy technique in which special cups are placed on the skin to create suction. It may help improve blood circulation, reduce muscle tightness, and support pain relief as part of a physiotherapy treatment plan.

Cupping therapy may be helpful for people experiencing muscle stiffness, back pain, neck pain, shoulder tightness, sports-related muscle soreness, or recovery-related discomfort. A physiotherapist will assess your condition before recommending it.

Most patients feel a pulling or tight sensation during cupping therapy, but it is generally well tolerated. The pressure can usually be adjusted according to your comfort level.

Yes, temporary circular marks may appear on the skin after cupping. These marks are usually not painful and typically fade within a few days.

The duration depends on the patient’s condition and treatment plan. A physiotherapist will decide the appropriate session length after assessment.
