Cupping therapy in Torquay
Cupping is a targeted bodywork treatment for areas of muscular tightness, tension and restriction. At Surfcoast Massage in Torquay, cupping can be used for tired or overworked muscles, persistent areas of tightness, or muscular tension associated with exercise, work and repetitive movement. Treatment is tailored to your body, focusing on the areas where you are experiencing discomfort or restricted movement.
Benefits of cupping
Cupping provides a different approach to working with tight, tired or overworked muscles. Depending on your individual needs, benefits may include:
- Helping ease muscular tension and tightness
- Increasing local blood flow to the treated area
- Working with areas of soft tissue restriction
- Supporting flexibility and range of movement
- Easing tired or overworked muscles
- Addressing tension associated with physical activity
- Supporting more comfortable movement
One of the most noticeable effects of cupping can be the temporary circular marks left on the skin. The colour and intensity of these marks vary between people and between different areas of the body. These marks are caused by the suction applied during treatment and generally fade over time. Your therapist will discuss the treatment with you beforehand, including what to expect during and after your session.
How does cupping work?
Specially designed cups are positioned over selected areas of the body and suction is created inside them. Rather than applying downward pressure to the muscles, the suction gently lifts the skin and superficial soft tissues.
Cups may remain stationary or be moved across the skin, depending on the area being treated and the technique used. The amount of suction, cup placement and treatment time can all be adjusted according to your comfort and how your body responds.
