Cupping Therapy

Cupping Therapy: What It Is
Cupping therapy is a traditional therapeutic technique where specially designed cups are placed on the skin to create gentle suction. This therapy has been used for centuries across various cultures to support overall wellness and muscle recovery. It is commonly used alongside other treatments to promote relaxation and relieve tension. It can be categorized as a supportive therapy.

How Cupping Therapy Works
During cupping therapy, suction is created inside the cups, which gently lifts the skin and underlying tissues. This process helps encourage blood flow to the targeted area and supports the body’s natural healing response. Cups may remain in place for a short period or be gently moved depending on the treatment goals.

Benefits of Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy may help reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. Many people find it helpful for supporting recovery from physical activity and easing areas of stiffness. It can also contribute to an overall sense of wellbeing when used as part of a balanced treatment plan.
