Cupping

at rebuild physio glenelg, we offer a wide range of physiotherapy treatments to control pain early in your recovery, enabling you to perform our targeted exercises more freely.

One of the strategies we use to achieve this for select conditions is the use of Cupping Therapy Treatment.

Cupping Therapy, also known as “Suction Cupping,” involves the application of glass or plastic suction cups on targeted body regions that may be contributing to your pain. Vacuum suction is applied using a handheld pump to pull skin and soft tissue structures into the cup, creating a negative pressure to the region. Cupping is aimed at decreasing your muscle tension, improving circulation, and reducing muscle soreness, particularly when cupping the back.

A recent systematic review has found that suction cupping can be effective in reducing pain in patients with long term lower back and neck pain. When used in combination with our other pain management strategies, cupping assists in breaking your pain cycle, enabling you to move with less guarding. This means that when you perform your strength, range and stability exercises, you do this in a way that is optimum for the body, reinforcing these movement pattern and beginning to rebuild your function.
