Cupping therapy at Physio Clinic Suchánek applies glass or silicone cups to the skin to create negative pressure — the opposite of massage compression. The suction lifts the soft tissues, separates adherent fascial layers, draws blood and lymph into the area, and provides a decompressive release that no compression technique achieves. Static cupping holds cups in place for localised deep release; sliding cupping moves the cups across the skin surface for a broader myofascial decompression effect across the back, hamstrings, or thighs.
About this treatment
Cupping has a multi-thousand-year history in traditional medicine, but its mechanism has been substantially clarified by modern physiotherapy research. The negative pressure created by the cup — between 150 and 400 mmHg depending on placement and cup size — produces several simultaneous physiological effects:
Myofascial decompression
compression-based massage techniques push tissue together; cupping pulls it apart. For fascia that has become adherent due to repetitive loading, scar formation, or chronic postural compression, the decompressive lift created by a silicone or glass cup separates the tissue layers in a way that compression cannot achieve.
