Relieve Pain with Cupping Therapy at NYPPT

Cupping Therapy at New York Plaza Physical Therapy is an innovative treatment that uses suction cups to reduce pain and improve tissue health. Our licensed therapists place specially designed cups on the skin, creating gentle suction that lifts and separates tissue layers. This increases blood flow, relaxes tight muscles, and can help break up scar tissue – all of which promotes healing and pain relief in areas like the neck, shoulders, back, or legs and even C-section scars.

What to Expect

• Guided Treatment: After a brief consultation and evaluation, cups will be applied to clean, lubricated skin. They may stay stationary or be gently moved to massage the tissue.
  
  

• Sensation: You will feel a light pulling or tugging sensation, but it should not be painful. Sessions typically last 15-30 minutes.
  
  

• Visible Marks: Temporary red or purple circular marks may appear where cups were placed; these usually fade in a few days.
  
  

• Comprehensive Care: Cupping is used as part of your overall therapy plan, often combined with other manual therapy and exercises for best results.
  
  

Key Benefits

• Muscle Relaxation: Suction helps release deep-seated muscle knots and adhesions that contribute to pain.
  
  

• Pain Reduction: Improved circulation from cupping can reduce chronic pain and inflammation in stiff areas.
  
  

• Enhanced Healing: By increasing blood flow, cupping supports tissue repair and speeds recovery from strains or sprains.
  
  

• Improved Mobility: Patients often experience better range of motion in joints and muscles after cupping.
