A non-invasive therapeutic technique, Dry Cupping, uses special suction cups to create negative pressure on your skin and the underlying tissues. The vacuum effect thus created helps to enhance local blood circulation, stimulate your body to heal naturally and mobilise soft tissue.
Dry cupping does not involve the use of incisions or bloodletting, like wet cupping therapy. This makes it a safe and controlled technique when applied by trained physiotherapists. Dry cupping is usually combined with physiotherapy and sports medicine to treat musculoskeletal dysfunction. It also aids in recovery and improves overall health.
At Kinetic Care Physiotherapy & Acupuncture Clinic, dry cupping therapy is done by our licensed physiotherapist and acupuncturist. The expert is highly trained in evidence-based protocols and uses the technique in combination with manual therapy, exercise rehabilitation and acupuncture as per the needs of the patient. The dry cupping method is used as part of a multimodal treatment plan.
Cup placement, intensity of suction and duration are carefully monitored and adjusted, keeping in mind your and therapeutic presentation and goals. Once these essential treatment parameters are satisfactorily aligned, the sessions are then designed to give optimum results in reducing pain, improving function and enhancing recovery post-surgery and post-injury.
Yes. When dry cupping is done by a trained physiotherapist, it is safe and well-tolerated. Temporary circular skin discolouration is a common side effect, which disappears in 3 to 7 days.
The vacuum created by the suction pump lifts your skin and soft tissues, resulting in improved circulation and stimulation of your body’s natural healing process. It reduces soft tissue stiffness, promotes neuromuscular relaxation and restores mobility.
The frequency of treatment sessions depends on the condition of the patient. Most people show an improvement within 2 to 4 sessions, while those with chronic and advanced conditions may require more interventions.
Patients may experience a mild sensation of pulling or pressure. However, there is minimal discomfort, and it subsides quickly.
The circular discolouration as a result of dry cupping is superficial. It is harmless and fades within a few days.
At Kinetic Care Physiotherapy & Acupuncture Clinic, dry cupping is applied by our trained and licensed physiotherapist and is a part of a comprehensive rehabilitation strategy that is evidence-based. It is especially designed to relieve your pain, restore mobility and ensure your long-term musculoskeletal health.
