What Is Cupping Therapy?

Cupping therapy is a therapeutic technique that uses gentle suction to lift the skin and underlying tissue, helping relieve muscle tension, improve blood flow, and support the body’s natural healing response. It has been used for centuries and is now supported by modern research for reducing musculoskeletal pain, inflammation, and mobility restrictions.

By placing medical-grade cups on specific areas of the body, negative pressure is created. This lifts the tissue, releases fascial tightness, and encourages increased circulation — making it an effective addition to rehabilitation, sports recovery, and general wellness care.

How Cupping Therapy Works

During a session, the clinician places cups on the skin using controlled suction or gentle heat. This stimulates blood flow, loosens tight muscles, and helps break up adhesions in the fascia. Sessions typically last 10–20 minutes depending on the area being treated.

Cupping may be performed in several forms:

Dry Cupping: Standard suction, no incisions.
Dynamic Cupping: The cup is gently glided over tight muscles to mobilize tissue.
Static Cupping: Cups remain in place to target trigger points or areas of muscle restriction.

What to Expect

Before treatment, the clinician will review your symptoms, movement patterns, and goals. Cups are placed on targeted areas and may remain stationary or be gently moved to mobilize tissue. Mild redness or circular marks may appear temporarily — this is a normal response from increased circulation and typically resolves within a few days. Most patients report feeling lighter, looser, and more mobile immediately after treatment.
