Understanding cupping therapy
Cupping therapy is a form of trigger point work. It is a treatment method that uses plastic or silicone cups placed on and around your trigger points, which are areas of tight muscle fibres or more commonly referred to as knots.
These may be placed all over your body. Depending on your concern, they may be grouped over your back, legs, shoulders, or even your chest.
The cups then seal over your skin, causing the soft tissues to rise inside the cup. This acts similarly to a tissue massage, aiming to relieve tension, pain, and discomfort. Most notably the cups work on our fascial system- that is the connective tissue component of our body anatomy. When we draw the tissue into the cups the fascia surrounding the muscles and other structures of the body pulls tight, when the cup is then taken off it creates a strong release in this connective tissue. This can help address concerns related to repetitive strain or poor posture.
This is why you’ll often see cupping used on professional athletes such as swimmers who do strong repetitive movements for their sport as it helps speed up recovery and prevent injuries.
Cupping can be incorporated into your standard osteopathic sessions, speak to your osteo today to find out more.

Common cupping therapy questions
Is cupping therapy dangerous?
Cupping therapy is a non-invasive treatment that is not usually dangerous. Most people may experience some temporary marks or bruising on the skin, along with some potential dizziness. The change in skin colour is a normal part of the cupping process and can be a guide to what areas of the body need the most attention.
If you are not sure if cupping therapy is right for you, reach out to our team to discuss your concerns.
How many sessions will I need?
How many sessions you need will depend on your concerns. Many people may only need one or two sessions to get the most benefit.
However, more severe or persistent issues, such as chronic pain, may require several sessions over a longer period of time. Cupping can be incorporated into your standard osteopathic sessions, speak to your osteo today to find out more.
