At ProActive Rehab, we use a range of advanced manual therapy techniques to help relieve pain, improve mobility, and speed up recovery. One of the most effective and increasingly popular treatments we offer is cupping therapy, which is widely used in sports massage, sports therapy, and general pain relief treatments in Norwich.
Whether you’re an athlete looking to enhance performance or someone suffering from chronic pain or muscle tension, cupping therapy can be a game-changer. In this guide, we’ll explore the three primary types of cupping we offer: glide cupping, active cupping, and static cupping—and how they can benefit your body.
Cupping therapy is a traditional treatment that has been modernised for sports therapy, pain relief, and injury recovery. It involves using suction cups to create negative pressure on the skin, which helps:
✔ Increase blood circulation
✔ Reduce muscle tension
✔ Improve lymphatic drainage
✔ Enhance fascia mobility
✔ Speed up recovery from injuries
At ProActive Rehab, we take cupping to the next level by incorporating glide cupping, active cupping, and static cupping into our sports massage and manual therapy sessions in Norwich.
Types of Cupping Therapy We Offer in Norwich
1. Glide Cupping (Dynamic Cupping)
Glide cupping is a technique where cups are moved across the skin while maintaining suction. This method is highly effective for:
✅ Breaking up adhesions in muscles and fascia
✅ Increasing blood flow to tight areas
✅ Enhancing range of motion
✅ Reducing delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS)
Glide cupping is often used in our sports massage treatments in Norwich to loosen tight muscles and improve flexibility.
2. Active Cupping
At ProActive Rehab, we specialise in active cupping, a technique where cups are placed on the skin while the client moves through specific stretches or exercises. This approach:
✅ Enhances mobility by combining cupping with movement
✅ Activates neuromuscular connections to improve function
✅ Provides deep pain relief by targeting muscle imbalances
✅ Works exceptionally well in sports therapy sessions in Norwich
This is an excellent treatment for athletes, gym-goers, and anyone struggling with restricted movement or recurring injuries.
Static cupping involves placing cups on key areas without movement for several minutes. This method is ideal for:
✅ Trigger point therapy (relieving deep muscle knots)
✅ Deep fascia release
✅ Boosting circulation to stubborn tight areas
✅ Nervous system relaxation (calming tight muscles and stress)
Static cupping is often used in manual therapy sessions in Norwich to relieve chronic pain, postural tension, and muscular tightness.
Who Can Benefit from Cupping Therapy?
Cupping is an effective treatment for athletes, gym enthusiasts, office workers, and anyone suffering from:
✔ Sports injuries (e.g. hamstring strains, shoulder pain, lower back tightness)
✔ Chronic pain conditions (e.g. fibromyalgia, arthritis, sciatica)
✔ Postural imbalances (e.g. rounded shoulders, tight hip flexors)
✔ Stress-related tension (e.g. headaches, neck stiffness)
✔ Reduced flexibility and mobility
If you’re looking for sports massage, pain relief, or manual therapy in Norwich, cupping could be the perfect addition to your treatment plan.
