Cupping Therapy
Ancient Technique, Modern Relief: Focused Cupping Therapy
Suction cups have made a come-back thanks to professional athletes, BUT they can help each and every one of us. They have been used for many years in integrated alternative medicine to manage pain by improving blood flow, lymphatic flow as well as myofascial mobility.
FAQ’s
What causes the marks/bruises after cupping?
The circular marks you see after cupping aren’t bruises in the traditional sense. They’re caused by increased blood flow to the area as the suction draws blood toward the skin’s surface. This helps release tension, loosen fascia, and promote healing. They usually fade within a few days to a week.
Does cupping therapy hurt?
Cupping shouldn’t be painful. You’ll feel a firm pulling or pressure as the cups create suction, but it shouldn’t feel sharp or uncomfortable. Most people describe it as a deep, relieving stretch. If any cup feels too intense, your therapist can adjust the pressure right away to keep you comfortable.
Is cupping effective for back pain or muscle recovery?
Yes — cupping is often used to relieve back pain, muscle tension, and soreness. By increasing blood flow and promoting tissue relaxation, it helps muscles recover faster and move more freely. Many athletes and active individuals use it as part of their recovery routine, and it can also complement physiotherapy or massage treatments for chronic tightness or strain.
