Cupping Therapy
Functional release cupping therapy is a specialised, modern form of soft tissue treatment. It combines traditional negative pressure cups with movement and active rehabilitation, working to decompress soft tissues. The cups are placed on targeted areas of the body while the patient performs controlled movements - the suction created by cups lifts and separates tissue layers to improve blood flow and reduce muscle tension.

The Benefits of Cupping Therapy
Functional release cupping therapy, unlike traditional static cupping, involves active movement of the body part while cups are applied. This helps to break down adhesions, improving movement and mobility. The main benefits include:
-
Improve your range of motion: Functional release cupping therapy is focused on the overall movement patterns of your body. By working on the muscles, connective tissues and fascia involved in movement, cupping therapy can help you to move more efficiently by improving alignment, posture and biomechanics.
-
Detox: The suction from the cups encourages lymphatic drainage, which supports the removal of toxins from the body. This detoxification helps with general wellbeing and immunity.
-
Reduce inflammation: Cupping therapy can help to reduce inflammation by reducing muscle tension and improving circulation. This is great for joint or muscle disorders conditions like tendonitis or bursitis.
-
Improve Nerve Function: By stimulating nerve function, cupping therapy can help to reduce nerve pain and improve sensation. This can be helpful for nerve related conditions like sciatica or carpal tunnel syndrome.
-
Speed up recovery from soft tissue injury: Cupping therapy can speed up the healing process of sprains, ligament strains and other soft tissue injuries by improving tissue oxygenation, circulation and the flow of lymphatic fluid.
