Cupping Therapy
Clinical Overview
Cupping therapy is an ancient, evidence-based modality used for pain management and recovery at Bethesda Physio & Rehab Clinic in Vellore. By applying suction cups to the skin, we create negative pressure that lifts the fascia, separates tissue layers, and dramatically increases localized blood flow to promote rapid healing of strained or painful muscles.
How it Works
The suction lifts the skin and superficial muscle layers, drawing stagnant blood and toxins to the surface where the lymphatic system can clear them. This mechanical lift also decompresses sensory nerves, providing immediate pain relief.
