Cupping Therapy

Initial assessment

Angie, a 38-year-old office worker, visited our clinic seeking relief from chronic neck and shoulder tension caused by prolonged desk work. He experienced frequent headaches, stiffness, and reduced range of motion, which affected his daily activities and productivity.

Traditional pain management methods, including over-the-counter medications and massages, provided only temporary relief. After a thorough evaluation, we recommended cupping therapy as an effective treatment option.

Techniques and approaches

We designed a six-week cupping therapy program to alleviate Angie’s muscle tension and improve circulation. The treatment involved placing specialized suction cups on targeted areas of his back and shoulders to promote blood flow and release tight muscle fascia. Sessions were scheduled twice a week and combined with light stretching and posture correction exercises.

• Applied silicone and glass cups for dynamic and stationary cupping techniques
• Targeted upper back, shoulders, and neck to relieve tension and improve circulation
• Conducted sessions twice a week for consistency and maximum benefits
• Incorporated light stretching exercises to enhance flexibility
• Monitored progress regularly and adjusted treatment as needed

Progress and outcomes

After the first two sessions, Angie reported a noticeable reduction in muscle tightness and improved mobility. By week four, his headaches had decreased significantly, and his posture showed improvement. At the end of the six-week program, Angie experienced a 75% reduction in pain and tension, leading to improved productivity and overall well-being. Follow-up evaluations confirmed increased circulation and reduced muscle stiffness.
