Cupping therapy, also known as vacuum therapy, uses glass or silicone cups that are placed on the skin, creating a vacuum that pulls the skin and subcutaneous tissue toward the cup. This method stimulates circulation, reduces pain, improves detoxification of the body and relaxes muscles, making it a very effective procedure for various types of pain and recovery.

How cupping therapy works:

• Improves circulation: The vacuum created in the cups pulls the skin upwards, improving blood and lymph flow, which helps in muscle recovery and reduces tension.
• Pain Reduction: Cupping therapy helps reduce pain in muscles, joints, back and cervical areas by relaxing muscles and removing accumulated toxins.
• Detoxification of the body: Increased circulation also contributes to faster elimination of toxins from the body, which helps to cleanse and restore the body.
• Relaxation and regeneration: The therapy works on the muscles, promoting relaxation and tissue regeneration, which is useful for athletes and people recovering from injuries.

Indications:

• Pain in the back, cervical and lumbar areas
• Headaches, migraines
• Pain in the joints and muscles
• Increased muscle tension
• Respiratory problems such as asthma and bronchitis
• Rehabilitation and regeneration of muscles and tissues

Advantages:

• Non-invasive and painless therapy
• Rapid improvement of circulation and muscle relaxation
• Useful for treating various pains and respiratory problems
• It stimulates the regeneration and detoxification of the organism
