Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy is a form of manual therapy that uses suction cups placed on the skin to promote healing, improve circulation, and reduce pain. It’s a technique rooted in traditional medicine but increasingly used in modern physical therapy and sports recovery programs.

  • Increases Blood Circulation

    Cupping draws blood to the targeted area, improving circulation and bringing oxygen and nutrients to tissues to accelerate healing.

  • Reduces Muscle Tension and Pain

    The suction helps lift and release tight muscle tissue and fascia, making it especially effective for chronic muscle knots, back pain, and tight shoulders.

  • Promotes Faster Recovery

    Often used by athletes, cupping aids in reducing soreness, flushing out metabolic waste, and enhancing lymphatic drainage—helping speed up recovery after intense activity.

  • Improves Range of Motion

    By loosening tight muscles and fascia, cupping can improve flexibility and joint mobility, especially after injury or during rehabilitation.

  • Calms the Nervous System

    Many patients find cupping deeply relaxing. It may help reduce stress, improve sleep, and promote a sense of well-being by calming the autonomic nervous system.
