Cupping in Carmel & Zionsville
Ease Discomfort with Cupping Therapy in Carmel & Zionsville
If you suffer from musculoskeletal pain or tension, stiff joints, injuries, or chronic conditions—our highly trained physical therapists are here to help. We offer cupping therapy, an ancient holistic healing technique that can alleviate a wide range of pain and improve function. Read on to learn how this treatment works and if it might be right for you.
What is Cupping Therapy and How Can it Help?
Cupping therapy originated in Chinese medicine over 2,500 years ago. The therapy uses specialized silicone, rubber, bamboo or glass cups to create suction and lift the tissues. This gentle pressure has profound effects—increasing blood and lymphatic circulation to oxygenate tissues, relax muscles, loosen stiffness or scar tissue and reduce systemic inflammation.
Patients seek cupping to relieve:
- Muscle tension, spasms, stiffness or pain
- Joint pain and inflammation from arthritis, fibromyalgia or illness
- Headaches, sinus pressure and congestion
- Constipation, gas or indigestion
- Injuries, scar tissue or adhesions
- Fatigue or low energy
During each session, our expert therapists will custom place cups along meridians or pain points. We utilize techniques including gliding, loosening, percussion or compression to target tissues and stimulate healing. Treatments leave no mess or lasting marks—only a profound sense of calm and vitality. Rest assured, when our highly trained physical therapists perform cupping at Restore Your Core Physical Therapy the methods are modern, hygienic and carefully controlled. Our goal is to create rapid results with no discomfort. Read on to learn more about the benefits of cupping and how this therapy may help you live pain-free.
Key Benefits of Cupping Therapy in Carmel & Zionsville
The gentle suction of our silicone cups can benefit the entire body. Cupping optimizes circulation of blood and lymph while stimulating cell repair. Benefits may include:
- Reduced pain or spasms from sore muscles or tight fascia
- Increased mobility in stiff, injured joints
- Relief from tension headaches and migraines
- Faster injury recovery and less post-exercise soreness
- Reduced appearance of cellulite or stretch marks
- Promotes relaxation, comfort and balanced energy
Rather than masking discomfort with pain pills, cupping therapy optimizes the body’s natural potential to mend injuries, reduce inflammation and restore comfort. Proven to benefit children to seniors, athletes to overweight individuals, cupping’s safe, drug-free approach makes it the clear choice for lasting wellbeing.
I spent lots of time and money on three other physical therapists before I went to Restore Your Core Physical Therapy. After seeing Amy and Meredith, I feel the best I have felt in 8 years, and I finally have relief from enduring pain. These professionals are true experts in their field. Not only are they very knowledgeable and skilled, but also they are friendly, kind, and encouraging. Amy is incredibly responsive and, if there is an emergency, she will do everything she can to fit you in. I truly can’t say enough about how thankful I am to have found this practice.
I appreciate all the help I received at Restore your Core Physical Therapy. The therapists were thorough, professional, and encouraging. Amy has the heart of a teacher and was great at explaining things and showing how the whole body is connected. Even when I felt discouraged or overwhelmed, they were patient me. I feel like I have come a long way since starting physical therapy with Amy and I have the knowledge to continue improving. I highly recommend Restore Your Core Physical Therapy!
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical cupping session last?
Our initial cupping evaluation will take up to one hour for assessment while follow up appointments average 30 minutes. Your therapist will determine the duration needed to create positive change.
What happens during a typical cupping session?
Based on your health questionnaire, areas of tension or pain are identified. Further assessment may involve stretching tests for joint mobility. Silicone cups are then placed on the skin with suction applied via pump or heat. Gentle range of motion techniques or massage may also be incorporated between placements.
What if I feel too much discomfort during the session?
Most patients report the suction feels like a strong, deep tissue massage – ranging from mildly uncomfortable to profoundly relaxing. However, your comfort level is our top priority. You remain in control and can ask to reduce or stop suction anytime. Your therapist also carefully monitors tissue response. Please communicate any intense sensation so levels can be adjusted for your comfort.
