What is Equine Cupping?
Equine cupping, rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) philosophy, utilizes vacuum cups to apply static or moving cupping techniques on horses. These cups lift and separate muscle tissue, promoting lymph fluid movement, addressing deep restrictions, scar tissue, and swelling across muscle systems. This modern massage modality employs pairs of glass, plastic, or silicone cups, dynamically "lifting" soft tissue with negative pressure, akin to manual tissue manipulation. Equine cupping enhances circulation, relaxes muscles, eliminates toxins, and releases tension. Debra Redman, a pioneer in U.S. equine cupping, imports specialized equipment designed for horses, ensuring efficient and safe treatment.
Our Approach
Equine Cupping involves the use of vacuum cups to apply gentle pressure on your horse's body. These cups create a therapeutic vacuum, lifting and separating muscle tissue. The result is an enhanced flow of lymphatic fluid, addressing deep muscle layer restrictions, scar tissue, and swelling, while promoting overall relaxation and healing.
Modern & Dynamic
In our approach to Equine Cupping, we use specialized glass cups to "lift" soft tissue in a modern and dynamic manner. This technique leverages the contrast between creating localized negative pressure (vacuum) and positive pressure (manual tissue manipulation), providing a unique and invigorating experience for your horse.

Case Study: Dewey
Dewey, a 15-year-old gelding, had been enduring severe pain, a distended penis, and bracing in his back legs, rendering him unable to lift them for the ferrier. His distress was palpable in the before videos, which showcased his discomfort with a distended penis, a stiff tail, and a stumbling gait. To alleviate the tension, Dewey's owners turned to cupping therapy, a renowned technique for pain relief and improved circulation. The results, as evident in the after videos, were nothing short of astonishing. Dewey's penis retracted to a normal position, his tail relaxed, and his gait improved significantly. This transformation highlights the remarkable potential of cupping therapy in alleviating severe pain and discomfort in horses, offering Dewey a newfound sense of comfort and mobility that has undoubtedly improved his quality of life.
