Dynamic cupping
Dynamic cupping, also known as moving cupping or glide cupping, is a variation of traditional cupping therapy where the cups are moved across the skin rather than being left stationary. This technique offers several potential benefits:
Increased Circulation: Moving the cups across the skin stimulates blood flow to the area. This increased circulation can help deliver oxygen and nutrients to the tissues while removing metabolic waste products, promoting healing and overall health.
Enhanced Lymphatic Drainage: Dynamic cupping can also stimulate the lymphatic system, which plays a crucial role in removing toxins and waste from the body. By promoting lymphatic drainage, dynamic cupping may help reduce swelling and inflammation and support the body’s detoxification process.
Muscle Relaxation: The movement of the cups across the skin creates a massage-like effect, helping to relax tense muscles and release muscle knots and trigger points. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing muscle stiffness, pain, or restricted range of motion.
Improved Range of Motion: Dynamic cupping therapy can help improve joint mobility and flexibility by releasing tension in the surrounding muscles and fascia. This can be especially useful for athletes and individuals recovering from injuries or surgeries.
Pain Relief: Like static cupping, dynamic cupping may help alleviate pain by promoting circulation, reducing inflammation, and relaxing muscles. It can be effective for various types of pain, including back pain, neck pain, and musculoskeletal pain.
