What is cupping?
Cupping is an ancient therapeutic technique that involves placing suction cups on the skin to create a vacuum. This suction promotes increased blood circulation, relieves muscle tension, and aids in overall healing and relaxation. At Revival Recovery & Rehabilitation, we use modern cupping methods to provide a safe and effective treatment experience.
At Revival Recovery & Rehabilitation, we offer three distinct types of cupping to cater to the varying needs of our clients:
-
Static Cupping: In this traditional form of cupping, cups are placed on specific areas of the body and left in place for a set period, typically 5 to 15 minutes. This method is effective for targeting deep-seated muscle tension and promoting relaxation. It is often used to address chronic pain, stiffness, and areas with reduced mobility.
-
Dynamic Cupping: Unlike static cupping, dynamic cupping involves gently moving the cups along the skin, often with the aid of massage oil. This technique is beneficial for covering larger areas of the body and is particularly effective for improving circulation, lymphatic drainage, and overall flexibility. It's ideal for athletes or individuals seeking a more active form of cupping therapy.
-
Functional Cupping: This innovative approach combines cupping with specific movements or exercises tailored to the individual's needs. During functional cupping, the client may be asked to perform certain movements while the cups are in place, enhancing the therapeutic effect. This method is excellent for addressing movement-related issues, improving range of motion, and optimizing athletic performance.
