Our qualified therapist possesses knowledge of various cupping methods. We use this knowledge to offer clients a tailored solution depending on their health conditions.

What is Cupping Therapy?
Based on an ancient Chinese healing technique, cupping is an alternative therapy that helps people ease chronic to severe pain. It involves the use of plastic, glass, or silicone cups on your back, arms, stomach, or other body parts. Through suction and negative pressure, cupping improves blood flow, removes toxins, boosts immunity, and alleviates acute pain.
How Does Cupping Therapy Work?
A therapist places a cup onto your body part that creates a vacuum, which gently pulls your skin upwards. This upward pulling of the skin gives your muscle a stretch which can effectively treat myofascial trigger knots or points. As a result, your muscles restore power by returning to their full length and elasticity.
Apart from this, cupping massage therapy is an amazing way to alleviate muscle pain as it works to:
Release rigid soft tissue
Break up cross-linkages between the tissue layers
Lift connective tissue
Loosen adhesions
Bring fresh blood to the body part
Promote muscular health
The cupping therapist at Diamond Valley Physiotherapy aims to promote healing through non-invasive methods. Our cupping therapy includes the following procedure:
Preparing the Cupping Cups: The therapist will heat the insides of the cups. It is a technique based on a traditional fire cupping massage method. This involves setting fire to an alcohol-soaked cotton ball and placing it inside the cup.
Placing the Cups on the Skin: Then the heated cups will be put onto your affected body parts. When placed on your skin, the heat sends the oxygen out of the cup to create a vacuum. This vacuum force gently pulls your skin upwards into the cup. Apart from this, we also use a modern approach in which a suction device is used to remove the air inside the cups.
Leaving the Cups for a Few Minutes: Depending upon your health concerns, our cupping therapist will leave the cups in place for some time. During that period, suction from cupping draws fluid into the treated area.
Healing the Area: Cupping results in a suction or mild force that breaks open tiny blood vessels under your skin. This procedure helps the cupped body parts replenish with healthier blood flow. Additionally, it also stimulates proper healing at the cellular level.
Removing the Cups: The therapist then removes the cups and cleans the surface of your skin.
Key Benefits of Cupping Therapy
Chinese Cupping therapy addresses various health concerns and promotes well-being. The process of gentle application of suction cups on specific body parts has a range of potential benefits to offer:
Pain Relief: Cupping is highly popular for providing relief from chronic pain and muscle tension. It is also proven effective for conditions like migraines and back pain.
- Improved Blood Circulation: Cupping therapy boosts blood flow to targeted cupped areas by creating a vacuum effect. This increased blood circulation aids in better flow of oxygen and vital nutrients to all body parts. This means it can boost the body’s healing and rejuvenation process.
Reduced Stress and Anxiety: Cupping treatment is so relaxing that it can help reduce the cortisol levels in your body. This leads to reduced stress and anxiety.
Muscle Recovery: If you are an athlete or enthusiast, opt for a cupping massage treatment to help you with muscle recovery. This method can alleviate muscle soreness after intense physical activities which can accelerate your healing process.
Detoxification: Another benefit that many people feel from cupping is that their body is detoxified with this technique. As the suction can draw out toxins from the tissues, it promotes overall well-being.

What Should I Expect During a Cupping Treatment?
