Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is an ancient healing practice that’s gaining modern popularity for its ability to relieve muscle tension, improve blood circulation, and promote natural healing. At Realign Rehab Clinic, we provide safe and effective cupping therapy in Faridabad, performed by skilled physiotherapists under the guidance of Dr. Vaishali Suri (P.T.). Whether you're dealing with back pain, tight shoulders, sports injuries, or fatigue, cupping is a gentle yet powerful method to support recovery.
What is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping therapy involves placing special suction cups on the skin to create negative pressure. This suction draws blood flow to the targeted area, helping to loosen tight muscles, release toxins, and stimulate healing. It is a non-invasive therapy that complements other physiotherapy techniques.
Types of Cupping We Offer:
- Dry Cupping: Static cups used to improve circulation and relieve muscle stiffness.
- Moving/Gliding Cupping: Cups are moved along the skin with oil to treat larger muscle areas.
- Flash Cupping: Quick on-and-off suction to stimulate specific points.
- Trigger Point Cupping: Focused treatment for myofascial pain and muscle knots.
Who Can Benefit from Cupping Therapy?
Cupping therapy is suitable for a wide range of conditions, including:
- Back and Neck Pain
- Shoulder Tightness and Frozen Shoulder
- Sports Injuries and Muscle Fatigue
- Headaches and Migraines
- Joint Stiffness (e.g., knee, hip, elbow)
- Postural Tension in Office Workers
- Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain Syndromes
- Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS)
- Low Energy and Circulation Issues
If you're seeking a natural therapy to complement your rehabilitation, cupping is a safe and effective option.
How Does Cupping Work?
The suction created by the cups pulls underlying tissue upwards, which:
- Stimulates fresh blood flow
- Loosens tight muscles and fascia
- Removes metabolic waste and toxins
- Reduces inflammation
- Triggers a healing response in deep tissues
The treatment may leave circular marks that fade within a few days. These marks are not bruises but a sign of blood movement and toxin release.
