In this highly practical guide, acclaimed physical therapist and
international lecturer Daniel Lawrence dispels some of the myths
around cupping therapy and shows how it deserves to be viewed as a
highly credible and versatile therapeutic tool in modern practice
Cupping-an ancient therapy which uses vacuum cups placed over the
skin to treat a wide range of health conditions-appears in one of
the earliest medical textbooks ever written and has been used in
cultures around the world for thousands of years. Though much
maligned by its perception as a "complementary therapy," the
emergence of modern research supporting the use of cupping to treat
musculoskeletal conditions has seen it enjoy a huge resurgence in
recent years. You only need look at the unmistakable cupping marks
visible on Olympic swimmers to see how valued it is within
professional sport. An ancient treatment, a new way Presented with
clear descriptions, color photographs, and QR codes linking to
online video tutorials, Lawrence's approach to dry cupping offers
enhanced treatment outcomes and methods that are more readily
accepted by Western medicine and modern manual therapy bodyworkers.
These are techniques that deliver maximum benefit whilst minimizing
some of the less desirable after-effects of more traditional
methods. Starting with the history of cupping, the book guides you
through the principles of application with illustrated protocols
for musculoskeletal conditions of the foot, ankle, lower leg, knee,
thigh, hip, back, shoulder, wrist, hand, elbow, and neck. Whether
you are looking to treat Achilles tendinitis, carpal tunnel
syndrome, or low back pain, Lawrence illustrates why cupping is a
safe and effective choice of treatment. Where this book differs
from others, however, is that it introduces the concept of using
passive and active movement in a treatment. In this way, cupping
can be viewed as an enhanced form of both massage and exercise
rehabilitation. Couple this with a valuable understanding of how
these techniques influence the nervous system and cupping now
stands up to "evidence-based" scrutiny. This is modern cupping!
