Cupping Therapy
Gentle suction to release tight muscles and boost local circulation
Clinical Overview
Cupping is a traditional Chinese medicine technique in which cups are placed on the skin to create gentle suction. Instead of pressing into the muscle like massage, cupping lifts the skin and underlying fascia, helping release tightness, improve blood flow, and relieve aches. Cups may be left in place for several minutes or gently glided across oiled skin.
Therapeutic Mechanism
The suction draws fresh blood into the treated area, loosens adhered fascia, and calms overactive muscles, which can reduce pain and stiffness and support recovery.
What You'll Experience
Most patients describe a pulling, deeply relaxing pressure. Cups usually stay on for 5 to 15 minutes. Round, painless marks can appear for a few days and fade on their own.
