Cupping therapy is a manual treatment technique used in physical therapy to help reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote tissue healing. During treatment, specialized cups are applied to the skin to create gentle suction, which lifts the underlying tissues and helps improve blood flow to tight or irritated areas.

By incorporating cupping therapy into a treatment plan, therapists can help decrease pain, improve mobility, and support recovery from muscle strain or overuse. When combined with stretching, strengthening, and movement training, cupping can enhance overall treatment outcomes and help you return to activity more comfortably.

Normatec compression boots are an advanced recovery tool used in physical therapy to help reduce muscle soreness, improve circulation, and speed up recovery after injury or intense activity. These boots use dynamic air compression to rhythmically inflate and deflate around the legs, promoting the movement of fluid and metabolic waste out of the muscles.

At Elite Physical Therapy, we use Normatec technology to support circulation, decrease swelling, and enhance recovery between therapy sessions or workouts. When combined with hands-on treatment and exercise, compression therapy can help you feel less fatigued and return to activity more comfortably and efficiently.

Contrast therapy using Hyperice technology is a recovery method that alternates between heat and cold to help reduce pain, improve circulation, and accelerate muscle recovery. The rapid transition between warming and cooling helps stimulate blood flow, decrease inflammation, and promote tissue healing.

At Elite Physical Therapy, we incorporate Hyperice Contrast Therapy to support recovery after injury, intense training, or surgery. When used alongside manual therapy and exercise, contrast therapy can help reduce soreness, improve mobility, and prepare your body for more effective movement and rehabilitation.
