Cupping therapy

Cupping therapy is an ancient treatment method with its roots in traditional Chinese medicine. This fascinating technique uses small cups placed on the skin to create a vacuum, causing the skin and underlying tissue to be drawn upwards. This stimulates blood circulation in the treated area, leading to various health benefits.

At FRISKFYSIO Amstelveen, cupping therapy has been integrated into modern physiotherapy practice, where it is used in various ways:

Massage and deep tissue relaxation: The therapy is used to relax and massage fascial structures, especially for connective tissue bottlenecks that cause pain.
Improving blood circulation and flexibility: By moving the cups over specific areas, such as around joints, the therapy helps improve blood flow and increase freedom of movement.
Detoxification: Traditionally, cupping has been used to draw toxins from the connective tissue to the surface, which helps to reduce muscle cramps and promote general well-being.
Advanced technologies: At FRISKFYSIO Amstelveen, we use an electric cupping device fitted with an adjustable vacuum head for intensity control, heat electrodes to improve blood circulation, and a massage head with an electrode-pulse for pain relief and additional stimulation.

This process helps relax muscles, improves circulation, and promotes a sense of well-being throughout the body. The first session may cause some discomfort, especially if the muscles are very tight, but this is usually a sign that the therapy is effective.

Benefits of cupping therapy

General relaxation and restoration of balance: Regular cupping sessions help to keep the fascial network flexible and healthy.
Faster removal of waste products: Due to the vacuum created, waste products are disposed of more efficiently through the pores.
Skin and deeper tissues: The stimulation promotes the production of collagen and elastin, leading to improvements in skin firmness and elasticity, as well as a healthier appearance of scars and wrinkles.
