Leading the Way in Cupping Therapy in Hamilton

Welcome to Sterling Physiotherapy Hamilton Clinic's Cupping Physiotherapy webpage! Cupping is an age-old method of allowing your body to eliminate toxins. It is also referred to by various names such as vacuum cupping or hijama cupping.

Here's how it works: our experienced therapist puts special cups on your skin. The cups suction your skin upwards. This causes the skin under the cup to become slightly swollen, which makes blood flow higher. With increased blood flow, your body is able to draw toxins and impurities from deep inside, bring them to the surface where they can be easily eliminated. It's an easy and effective way to make you feel revitalized and cleansed.

What is Cupping Therapy?

Cupping therapy is a traditional method used by many to help reduce pain. It involves a therapist placing cups on different parts of your body such as your back, stomach, arms, or legs. These cups create a suction effect, gently lifting your skin. Originating from ancient China and West Asia, cupping has been a trusted practice for thousands of years.

You might also hear it called cup therapy or suction cup therapy. At Sterling Physiotherapy Hamilton clinic, the most popular type of cupping we offer is known as dry cupping.

When cupping therapy treatment is not recommended?

Cupping therapy treatment is not recommended for individuals with open cuts or wounds, severe heart or vascular conditions, active tuberculosis, hemophilia, active cancer, high fever or flu, seizures, skin conditions affecting elasticity, or hernias. Additionally, cupping should be approached with caution for pregnant individuals, on certain facial areas, on healing or thin skin, in those taking blood thinners, and in individuals with poor tissue healing.

Before and After Cupping: What to Expect During Cupping Therapy in Hamilton

In dry cup method, we use cups made of glass, plastic, or silicone and position them on your skin. Then, we remove the air inside the cup to create a vacuum effect. Dry cupping is a safe and effective treatment. In fact, clinical studies have shown that individuals suffering from neck and shoulder pain reported a 61% reduction in their pain levels after undergoing dry cupping therapy!

During a cupping therapy session, you can expect to feel a sensation of suction or pressure on the skin, which may be mildly uncomfortable or relaxing. The cups may be left in place for several minutes or moved around to target different areas of the body. After the session, you may experience temporary bruising or skin marks, which should fade within a few days.
