Cupping Therapy


A technique that uses special cups to create a deep tissue like suction on the skin. This helps increase circulation, reduce muscle tension, promote healing, and relieve pain. Temporary circular marks may appear as part of the natural healing response, but should dissipate after a few days, depending on the individual’s body and how it responds to the cups

What Is Cupping Therapy?

Cupping therapy uses specialized cups placed on the skin to create gentle suction.

The suction lifts the underlying tissue, helping to improve circulation, release muscle tension, and support the body’s healing response.

Cupping therapy is frequently used in sports medicine and rehabilitative therapy.
