cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy has become one of Winnipeg’s most in-demand treatment options for relieving muscle tension, improving blood flow, and accelerating recovery. But at Drive Wellness, we take cupping far beyond simple relaxation. Our therapists use root-cause assessment , movement screening, and targeted cupping techniques to release restrictions that contribute to chronic pain and recurring injuries.
How Cupping Therapy Works
Cupping Uses gentle suction to lift tissue, increase circulation, and release fascial adhesions. Unlick massage that presses down, cupping works by decompressing the tissue. An incredibly effective method for:
• Reducing muscle tension
• Increasing mobility
• Promoting faster recovery
• Supporting lymphatic drainage
• Improving range of motion
• Reducing nerve irritation
This technique is especially effective when combined with corrective exercise and manual therapy, which is exactly how we incorporate it into our root-cause approach.
