What is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping therapy is an ancient therapeutic treatment that has gained massive modern popularity for its effectiveness in pain relief and muscle recovery. It involves placing specialized silicone, glass, or plastic cups on the skin to create a vacuum suction. This suction gently draws the skin and superficial muscle layers upward, promoting local circulation and tissue healing.
At Physio One, cupping therapy is integrated directly into our physical rehabilitation programs. Under the professional supervision of Dr. Akash Singh PT, cupping is used to target deep muscle tension, release myofascial restrictions, and reduce localized pain. It acts as an excellent catalyst, relaxing tight muscles so that patients can perform active exercises with less discomfort.
