The importance of Cupping

Cupping plays a crucial role in health and well-being. It helps patients maintain optimal physical condition, recover from injuries and prevent new trauma.

By focusing on the specificities of each pathology, our physiotherapists in Geneva bring essential expertise for a quick and effective recovery, allowing patients to regain their quality of life with confidence and security.

Our objectives in Cupping

Muscle Tension Release

The suction effect of cups loosens fascia and releases deep muscle contractures.

Improved Circulation

Suction stimulates local blood flow, promoting the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the tissues.

Trigger Point Treatment

Cupping is effective for treating trigger points and chronic tension areas.

Pain Reduction

Increased circulation and tissue release contribute to fast pain relief.

Your questions about Cupping

Cups may leave temporary circular marks (bruises) that disappear in 3 to 7 days. These marks are normal and indicate stimulation of local circulation. Their intensity decreases with sessions.
The treatment is not painful. You will feel a tugging sensation during suction, which is generally pleasant. Intensity is always adjusted to your comfort.
Cupping is effective for muscle tension, neck and lower back pain, contractures, mobility restrictions, adherent scars and as a complement to sports rehabilitation.
Yes, cupping is an integral part of the physiotherapy session. On medical prescription, sessions are reimbursed by basic insurance (LAMal).

Therapeutic cupping is an ancient technique revisited and integrated into modern physiotherapy. By creating local suction on the skin using silicone or glass cups, this method stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation, releases deep muscle tensions and promotes tissue healing.

Une ambiance chaleureuse et paisible et le personnel très professionnel et souriant offrent un accueil sécurisant. Les locaux sont frais ce qui est très appréciable en periode de forte chaleur et offrent tout l'équipement nécessaire pour nous accueillir et nous proposer la meilleure approche selon les problèmes rencontrés (massages, exercices, etc). Mon phisiothérapeute s'est montré à l'écoute et de très bon conseil pour m'aider à récupérer d'une vieille blessure. Les horaires d'accueil (tôt le matin et tard le soir) ont facilité la prise de rendez-vous en dehors de mes heures de travail et l'accès est très simple (tpg, parking et parking velo). Je recommande!
