Manual & Cupping Therapy in BTM, Bengaluru
Hands-on physiotherapy and cupping techniques, selected according to your symptoms, comfort and rehabilitation goals.
ABOUT THE TREATMENT
What Is Dry Needling Therapy?What Are Manual and Cupping Therapy?
Manual therapy involves hands-on techniques used by trained physiotherapists to address selected musculoskeletal symptoms and movement restrictions. Depending on the assessment, these techniques may include soft tissue mobilisation, gentle massage and appropriate joint mobilisation.
Cupping therapy uses cups placed on the skin to create suction. It may be considered as an adjunct for selected muscular discomfort, although the evidence for its benefits varies by condition.
At Hope Multispeciality Physical Therapy Rehabilitation & Wellness Centre, treatment begins with an assessment of your symptoms, medical history, movement and functional goals. Manual techniques or cupping may be incorporated into a broader rehabilitation plan that includes exercise, movement education and other appropriate interventions.
Neither approach is suitable for everyone, and treatment is tailored to individual needs.
