Cupping therapy is a traditional healing treatment that uses special cups placed on the skin to create gentle suction. This suction helps stimulate blood flow, release muscle tension, and promote natural healing in the body. It has been practiced for centuries in traditional Chinese, Middle Eastern, and Eastern European medicine systems.

Today, cupping therapy is widely used as a complementary treatment for pain relief, muscle recovery, and overall wellness.

How Does Cupping Work?

During the treatment:

• Cups are placed on specific areas of the body (commonly back, shoulders, neck, or legs).

• Suction is created using heat or a pump.

• The cups remain in place for 5–20 minutes.

• After removal, circular marks may appear — these are not bruises but signs of increased blood circulation to the area.

The therapy helps:

• Improve blood circulation

• Reduce muscle stiffness

• Promote detoxification

• Support lymphatic drainage

• Encourage relaxation and stress relief
