dry cupping
QUALITY CARE IN OTTAWA
While not your traditional pain management treatment, cupping has become more mainstream in recent years, and it isn’t hard to pinpoint why. Amazingly effective at reducing pain and inflammation while also simultaneously increasing blood flow and relaxation, dry cupping has the potential to help you feel your best.
During a dry cupping session, a trained therapist places special cups on your skin to produce suction. You will also likely notice that your therapist lights the cups on fire before placing them on your skin. The heat is what causes the suction. More specifically, as the air in the cup cools, it creates a suctioning effect.
From here, your skin will start to get red and rise as your blood vessels expand. Again, this might sound scary or concerning, but this is exactly what you want to happen to get all the benefits of cupping.
There are also manual pumping cups that don’t require heat.
With dry cupping, our goal is to direct blood flow to where the cups have been placed.
If you’re interested in experiencing all the benefits of dry cupping, we are happy to report that we offer the best dry cupping therapy in Ottawa.

reduced pain
If you’re experiencing pain in any part of your body, dry cupping can help. Dry cupping can be performed anywhere there is tissue. This includes the shoulders, back, buttocks, chest, abdomen, and legs. Dry cupping effectively reduces pain commonly experienced throughout the body
improved circulation
Increasing blood flow can help with relieving muscle tension, as well as promote cellular repair. When we place one of the suction cups on the skin, we are helping direct blood flow to that part of the body. This idea works similarly in the lymphatic system, helping to drain lymph out of the body.
improved mobility
Many of our clients suffer from mobility issues. Whether this is not having a full range of motion in a part of the body or not being able to stand or walk for long periods, cupping can help improve stamina and range of motion. In turn, this often enhances the quality of life.
