Cupping therapy

Cupping therapy is an ancient treatment method rooted in traditional Chinese medicine. This fascinating technique uses small cups placed on the skin to create a vacuum, pulling up the skin and underlying tissue. This stimulates blood circulation in the treated area, leading to various health benefits.

At FRISKFYSIO Amstelveen, cupping therapy is integrated into modern physiotherapy practices, where it is applied 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, the suction technique is used to draw toxins from the connective tissue to the surface, which helps reduce muscle spasms and promote overall well-being.
Advanced technologies: At FRISKFYSIO Amstelveen, we use an electric cupping device equipped with an adjustable vacuum head for intensity adjustment, heat electrodes for improved blood flow, and a massage head with electrode impulse for pain relief and extra stimulation.

The Experience of a Cupping Treatment at FRISKFYSIO Amstelveen A treatment with cupping at FRISKFYSIO Amstelveen feels like a powerful massage that reaches not only the superficial layers of skin, but also the deeper layers of tissue. 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.

When cupping therapy?

The therapy is recommended at FRISKFYSIO Amstelveen for a wide range of complaints, including muscle and joint pain, headaches and migraines, chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain, swelling and fluid accumulation, and even aesthetic improvements such as cellulite.

Besides the immediate benefits, some redness or bruising may appear on the skin after the treatment, which is normal and will disappear within a few days. These side effects are signs of the deep effect of the therapy and should not be a cause for concern.

Choosing cupping therapy at FRISKFYSIO Amstelveen means choosing a treatment method that is both traditional and innovative, aimed at improving your overall health and well-being.

Benefits of Cupping therapy

General relaxation and restoration of balance: Regularly undergoing cupping sessions keeps 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.
