What Is Cupping?
Cupping uses specialized cups to create gentle suction on the skin and underlying tissue. That suction lifts and separates layers of soft tissue, which can help reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and decrease pain, especially in areas with chronic tightness or restriction.​
​
Does Cupping Leave Marks?
Cupping commonly leaves temporary circular marks, ranging from light pink to deep purple, depending on the amount of restriction in the tissue. These marks are not bruises in the traditional sense. They're a sign of increased blood flow to the area, and typically fade within a few days to a week.​
​
What Can Cupping Help With?
• Muscle tightness and tension
• Chronic pain
• Limited range of motion
• Scar tissue and fascial restrictions
• Recovery after intense activity or training​
​
Is Cupping Painful?
Most patients find cupping relaxing rather than painful. You may feel pulling or tightness during the treatment, but it shouldn't be sharp or unbearable; let your provider know if you'd like more or less suction.​​
