Back Pain from Gardening? Cupping Can Help!

Tis the season to be out in the yard. And it is oh so hard on our backs. For those of us with chronic joint issues like EDS, it can also destabilize the pelvis which then results in all kinds of other pain from hip to knee to feet.

If you experience chronic pain, you probably have an assortment of caregivers who help manage it all, from chiropractors to acupuncturists and/or physical therapists. Massage and cupping therapy should definitely be part of that mix if it’s not already. You’re missing the opportunity to nip a pattern in the bud before it sets in, between your other care visits.

Massage will definitely help, but cupping therapy will provide the most relief the fastest, and is more effective at preventing those patterns from setting in and requiring more effort (and visits) to correct.

I speak from experience, and cupping therapy has been a game changer yet again for me while I wait for my PT appointment later this month.

Haven’t tried it yet? Now is the perfect time and season to give it a go! All our therapists are trained in it.
