Pain reduction:
Cupping, particularly moving cupping*, has similar effects to a massage and is therefore beneficial in relieving muscular pain.
*Moving Cupping: (also known as gliding cupping) is where the cups are moved during the treatment to massage the muscles. To do this the therapist will use oil on the skin to allow the cups to move easily without uncomfortable friction.
Releases muscle tension:
Cupping softens muscle tissue and helps to relieve muscle knots which results in looser feeling, more flexible muscles. Cupping usually targets muscle groups that are prone to tightness such as the hamstrings, the adductors and the back and shoulder muscles.
Improves digestion/relieves digestive disorders:
Cupping is thought to improve digestion through relaxing the whole body. Stress, anxiety, and muscle tension can lead to congestion and stagnation in the digestive system.
