What exactly is cupping therapy?

sCupping therapy uses negative pressure to affect your connective tissue from superficial to deep. It stemmed from traditional Chinese medicine, & is seen used in Chinese, Native American, Egyptian, and Islamic medicine, dating back up to 3,000 years ago. Cupping therapy has seen an increased in practitioners or people interested in knowing more about it as recent olympians, athlete, and celebrities have been spotted with cupping marks on them whom all swears by the therapeutic effects of it. The medical community however hasn't given an approval to cupping being evidence based from studies that has been done to ensure validity of cupping therapy having if any, a form of efficacy. Much rigorous studies have yet to be on cupping therapy. 

Types of cupping therapy

Fundamentally, there are two types of cupping therapy and the aim, techniques, protocols, and application is different. 

1. Wet Cupping 
The word wet cupping refers to the accumulation of blood during the cupping treatment. The blood is collected via the negative pressure from cupping by inducing small lacerations which is collected whilst the cups are being applied on. While most practitioners uses a plastic cups, it is much more sanitary to use a glass cup versus a plastic cups as used by many provider for wet cupping. If you have a session for wet cupping, ask if they're using a plastic or glass cups which has been sanitised and how it was sanitised, to avoid and spread infection. 
2. Dry Cupping
Dry Cupping is more commonly used by both professionals and laypeople all over as it's non invasive, easy to apply, and safe enough for any to use anywhere with basic knowledge of cupping mechanics. From the Chinese Medicine corner, flame cupping(pictured above) is used with a glass cups, skilfully, applied with alcohol, timing and precise location over the affected area. The flame cupping are mostly employed and used by TCM(traditional Chinese Medicine) physicians. Within the dry cupping therapy,  lies another bunch of techniques to employ and are used interchangeably by both eastern and the western practices of health practitioners: 
  1. Static 
  2. Sliding 
  3. Dynamic 
  4. Flash 
  5. ​Combination 
  6. Meridian 
  7. Myofascial 
  8. Neuro modulation 

How does cupping work? 

Most of the cupping mechanics are based on theories from different background of practise. One of which is:
TCM(Traditional Chinese Medicine)
  • TCM cupping follows science based on the meridians & energies of the body which pertains to increasing Qi
  • Meridians along the lines of the body also will relate to health conditions / diseases which the physician will place the cups along the meridians to achieve desired results
  • Flame cupping, sliding cupping and Gua sha are used during a typcial session to help rid of any form of energy stagnation and to promote new flow of energies 
  • TCM physicians may check for the tongue discolouration before and after the cupping session to see how much if any the cupping therapy session has changed the body's flow of energy
Hijama
Stemming from traditional Arabic medicine where blood is drawn by vacuum from inducing small lacerations for therapeutic purposes, which has been claimed to help with a multitude of health conditions from diseases and illnesses. 
  • A moderate amount of cupping vacuum is applied prior to the lacerations to allow blood to stagnate to help with "blood letting".
  • Hijama practitioners believes that the body can be facilitated to rid of the blood that contains waste of toxic materials once the blood is drawn
Clinical Cupping
Clinical cupping is a modified version of the eastern concepts and techniques with only the approach being different, most of the techniques already exists way before the current adoption of cupping into  many clinical practices which includes professionals such as RMT(Registered Massage Therapists), Chiropractors, Physiotherapists & other alternatives healthcare providers.
