Whole Health Therapies
At Valeo Physiotherapy, we want to provide our patients with the opportunity to achieve the best and longest-lasting results possible from their treatment. Cupping therapy along with massage therapy can provide longer-lasting results than just massage treatment alone. This, along with many other health benefits, is why we offer Cupping Therapy to our patients!
Cupping is a practice that originates from traditional Chinese medicine. The therapy involves suction cupping specific places on the body to reduce inflammation and neuromuscular pain while improving blood circulation.
Some conditions that Cupping Therapy can help with are carpal tunnel syndrome, facial paralysis, arthritis, and patients who are planning to go into surgery or have already had an operation. Cupping Therapy can also facilitate the formation of new connective tissues and the creation of new blood vessels.

Cupping therapy is good for a variety of conditions and ailments, including back pain, neck pain, muscle aches and pains, fibromyalgia, migraines, sciatica, asthma, fatigue and even cellulite. Cupping can also help with recovery from injuries or post-surgical healing. It is also used to increase the flow of blood and reduce inflammation in the affected areas. Cupping is also used to improve digestion, reduce stress and anxiety, and relieve muscle tension.
Cupping therapy can feel like a deep tissue massage. The sensation usually starts as warmth that slowly builds up to a moderate ache. Depending on your tolerance level and the length of time the cups remain in place, this sensation may become more intense.
