Cupping Therapy

PMP Pain Therapy offers cupping therapy to offer relief for individuals experiencing tightness, stiffness, and mild to moderate pain. We're here to address your pain and discomfort by using a specialized cupping tool.

Ancient Healing Technique for Pain Relief and Wellness

Cupping therapy has been practiced for thousands of years across different cultures. This time-tested therapeutic technique is known to promote blood flow and relaxation, which then alleviates the discomfort of the patient and improves their overall wellness. At PMP Pain Center, we offer static and dynamic cupping therapy to address your specific condition effectively.

What Is Cupping Therapy?

Cupping therapy is a therapeutic technique that uses suction cups to improve blood flow, relax tight muscles, and reduce pain. This technique is scientifically recognized for its ability to promote circulation and enhance the body’s healing process. The suction created by the cups lifts the skin and tissues, which encourages blood flow to the affected area and promotes healing.

PMP Pain Center prides itself in offering cupping therapy in the Philippines. Our physical therapists use an advanced cupping tool, which can perform both static and dynamic cupping. Static cupping keeps the cups in one place to relax muscles and relieve pain in a specific area. On the other hand, dynamic cupping moves the cups around to treat larger areas and improve blood flow. Both methods are safe and help you feel better by reducing pain and promoting healing. 

Common Conditions Treated with Cupping Therapy

Being used for centuries, this technique has been proven to be effective in relieving and treating various conditions, primarily muscle pains and soft tissue problems. Aside from that, it is also being used to treat headaches, asthma, and other health conditions.

Some of the conditions cupping therapy can help with include:

  • Arthritis
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Back pain
  • Shoulder pain
  • Knee pain
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • And more!
