Cupping for knee pain. In this video I'm going to show you how to perform cupping for knee pain demonstrating on the left knee, begin by draping. Grab the lower left corner of the top sheet and weave it under the client's left knee and wrap it around the client's upper thigh. Using five cups, you're now going to create what looks like five petals of a flower. The size of the cups may vary depending on the size of your clients need. Place one on the patellar tendon right above the kneecap and then suction two more on either side of the kneecap.

Now take two smaller sized cups and place them below the kneecap. with your left hand take hold of the client's left foot while your right hand goes under the client's left me slowly Bring the leg up 90 degrees, cradling the left foot and your left hand flex and extend the knee five to six times and then have the client holder leg up and have them actively extend and flex 75 to six times. The cups are notorious are popping off the knees. So spread your right hand over them as your left hand is supporting underneath there can repeat this several times. Bring the light back onto the table and remove the cups. Now take one medium sized cup and suction release around the kneecap gliding across it with one hand, as the other hand stabilizes the other side of the knee.

Repeat this until you feel the tissue around the knee is less restrictive and has softened Do a couple spreading strokes above and below the kneecap working lateral to medial and then check the range of motion of the knee getting the clients feedback.
