We also use stationary cups depending on the situation. Stationary cups are great for use on the hip and gluteal muscles. Especially for surfers and people exposed to the cold. Cupping has been around for thousands of years. It is excellent for back pain, shoulder pain, neck pain, muscle stiffness and is a great alternative to a deep-tissue massage.
At Acupuncture Hub we use the ancient art of cupping during our treatments. We generally use slide cupping as it releases muscle tension and draws the fascia into the cups. This helps smooth out any adhesions in the muscle fibres. We use fire to burn out the oxygen in the cup to create a vacuum. This draws blood and muscle waste products from the deep layers to the surface. Once at the surface the toxins re-enter the blood via the superficial venous capillaries and are removed by the liver, lungs and large intestine. It seems that 10 minutes’ worth of slide cupping is equivalent to a half hour massage.
