Cupping can be beneficial for those with lipedema, as it may help increase blood circulation, stimulate lymphatic flow, and reduce swelling, providing some relief for lipedema symptoms. We recommend using lighter suction and starting gently, especially on sensitive areas. Avoid leaving the cup in one place for too long (static cupping) to prevent overstimulation of the skin.
For the best results, combine cupping with lymphatic drainage massage by moving the cups towards the larger lymph nodes. Depending on the severity of the lipedema, it may be advisable to consult with a doctor or a specialist in lipedema before starting cupping, to get guidance on how to best adapt the treatment to your health condition.
