Cupping

Cupping therapy applied on the back at FisioEscòcia (Nou Barris, Barcelona)

Cupping is a technique with centuries of history that is used today as a complement in physiotherapy. Through a suction effect on the skin, it helps release muscular tension, improve circulation in the area and relieve pain of muscular and joint origin.

When do we use cupping?

  • Muscle knots and tension
  • Back pain of muscular origin
  • Stiffness and overload in specific areas
  • Improved local circulation
  • A complement to massage and manual therapy

Integrated into your session

We use cupping as one more tool, combined with the rest of your treatment when it can help you. The physiotherapist assesses the area, the application time and the right intensity for your case.
