Dry cupping is a manual therapy technique used to create suction on the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and underlying muscles. This suction stimulates blood flow, reduces muscle tension, and promotes tissue repair.
1. Pain relief: Reduces muscle pain and inflammation.
2. Muscle relaxation: Decreases muscle tension and spasm.
3. Improved circulation: Enhances blood flow to promote tissue repair.
1. Musculoskeletal injuries: Sports injuries, strains, sprains, and tendinopathies.
2. Chronic pain management: Conditions like fibromyalgia and chronic regional pain syndrome.
3. Post-operative rehabilitation: Promotes healing and reduces scar tissue.
By incorporating dry cupping into treatment plans, physiotherapists can enhance patient outcomes and improve functional ability.
