Cupping Therapy
Did you know that cupping therapy dates back thousands of years but is now being rediscovered as a wellness technique? At Rutherford Physiotherapy, we blend traditional methods with modern techniques, including cupping therapy in Edmonton, ensuring a practical approach that meets today’s health standards.
How Does Cupping Therapy Work?
Cupping therapy through muscle relaxation and promotion utilizes suction to induce blood flow, relax muscles, and accelerate healing. With specialized cups applied to the skin, this effective therapy creates a vacuum effect, bringing circulation to the areas of interest, promoting better relaxation of the muscles and an overall feeling of well-being. Our practitioners at Rutherford Physiotherapy Clinic utilize cupping to enhance your recovery and relieve pain.
Application of Cups
Cups are applied to specific parts of the body.
Generation of Suction
Suction is generated through manual pumps or heat.
Therapeutic Effect
This treatment helps to enhance blood flow, reduce muscle spasms, and enhance lymphatic drainage.

- Muscle spasm

Dynamic Cupping: A Moving Solution for Stiff Muscles
In addition to stationary cupping treatment, we provide dynamic cupping, gently moving cups, and unique techniques for moving cups gently over your muscles. This technique targets deeper tension levels and promotes flexibility and faster muscle recovery.
How Dynamic Cupping Works
Dynamic cupping utilizes cups with controlled suction that move slowly along the skin. A gliding motion encourages blood flow, untightens tight fascia, and decreases muscular tension. Compared to static cupping, dynamic muscle group cupping uses a broader range of muscle groups, giving a more general treatment.
Cupping Therapy for Tech Neck and Office Fatigue
Spending hours hunched over a desk and staring at a screen can lead to the modern malady of tech neck: neck pain, stiffness, and headaches. Our cupping therapy sessions specifically aim to alleviate the discomfort caused by prolonged sitting at a desk. We focus on the neck and shoulders to release tension and improve posture to restore comfort. Whether you are fighting the effects of extended office hours or stress from working remotely, our personalized cupping sessions can rejuvenate you.
Relaxation with Cupping Therapy
Imagine combining the deep relaxation of cupping therapy with benefits. At Rutherford Physiotherapy Clinic, we provide relaxation by incorporating cupping sessions. There is a combination of therapies to perform other than an exercise to alleviate bodily tensions; it calms your mind in the process, making this an excellent treatment for all clients experiencing stress, anxiety, and burnout.
