Cupping is a therapeutic process that involves suction on the skin using glass, ceramic, bamboo, and plastic cups. With the help of cupping, blood circulation increases in the targeted areas. The cups are placed in this process, and the muscle is relieved to encourage cell repair. There are two types of cupping therapy – wet and dry cupping. If you’ve opted for dry cupping, it involves light needle piercing on the skin. Dry cupping does not penetrate the skin, so the skin remains dry.
Wet cupping, on the other hand, removes harmful substances and toxins present in the body and helps promote body healing. If you are looking for professional cupping therapy in Coventry, get in touch with experts.
Different types of cupping therapy
- Fixed cupping: The cups are fixed on the body and left for some time. They are applied as suction cups or fire cups, and they are used in a specific location of the body. When the cups are fixed on the body for a long time, it allows the connective tissue to stretch out completely.
- Weak cups: This type of cupping is appropriate for young children and elderly people. Unlike fixed cupping, it is used for a short period. It is generally used to remove local congestion in weak patients. If these cups are left on the skin for a long time, they may start to drain the person’s energy.
- Flash cupping: This is a process of quick, repeated application of cups with a minimal amount of retention. It reduces local congestion and stimulates the local area of the body.
- Sliding cupping: This is a cupping technique in which the cups are attached to the body and then slid across a proper area. Massage oil is generally applied to the body before using the sliding cup. A medium amount of strength is applied to the cups during placement.
- Hijama cupping: This is also known as wet cupping and is a popular practice in the Middle Eastern regions. In this process, static blood and toxins are removed from the body. The suction process is used to speed up the process.
