Cupping Therapy: Understanding the Physiological Response and Its Potential Benefits
There are three things that usually occur and we will discuss them briefly :
1. Negative Pressure
- The pressure created by the cups creates a pulling action, which allows the separation of fused or adhered tissue. Any tissue that is not functioning, inhibits optimal functioning
- Tissue that is not functioning is usually due to dehydration, chronic inflammation, or doing repetitive motion (from work, sport, etc.)
- Cupping can help by drawing out any interstitial debris stuck in the connective tissue.
2. Vasodilation
- This is when the widening of the blood vessels occurs and occurs when the muscle tissue is relaxed.
- cupping helps release vaso-constricting chemicals(like histamines) and then the lumen of the blood vessels starts to dilate.
3. Enhanced Fluid Exchange
- Capillaries have various fluid exchange processes, like diffusion and filtration, and these processes allow nutrient-rich fluids to feed cells whilst removing waste materials.
- Cupping pulls blood into dehydrated, malnourished tissues.
