Cupping therapy is a technique that involves placing suction cups on the skin to promote blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and accelerate healing. It is commonly used in physical therapy, sports rehabilitation, and alternative medicine to treat musculoskeletal pain, inflammation, and mobility restrictions. The suction created by the cups lifts the skin and underlying tissues, increasing circulation and stimulating the body’s natural healing response. Cupping can be performed using dry or wet methods, with dry cupping being the most commonly used in clinical settings. Many patients report reduced muscle tightness, improved range of motion, and decreased pain following treatment. While temporary skin discoloration or mild bruising can occur, cupping is generally safe when performed by trained professionals. It is often combined with other manual therapy techniques to enhance recovery and optimize physical performance.
