❓ A treatment we use frequently, but do you know what it involves and the benefits of cupping?
🤔 Cupping therapy is a form of alternative medicine which involves the placement of cups onto the skin to create suction.
🎯 The aim of cupping, as with most therapeutic treatment is to encourage healing and pain relief.
👀 So, how does it work? ❓ Cupping increases ⬆️ blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed. This can reduce ⬇️ muscle tension, improve blood flow, promote cell repair and give an overall improvement to wellbeing.
🙌 At Better Bodies, we practice dry cupping using polycarbonate cups, with a hand pump creating the suction.
🙄 As with most alternative and therapeutic medicine, there is research to prove and disprove the effectiveness. So if you're sceptical 🤔 come and give it a try for yourself!
👍 Cupping therapy can be used as well as or instead of other treatments we offer at BBST. If you would like some more info, drop us a message 📩 or if you would like to book in head over to our website www.betterbodiessportstherapy.co.uk (link in bio) and book a Manual Therapy appointment 🖥️
