Cupping therapy is a clinical treatment used to address soft tissue restriction and promote circulation. Soft tissue includes muscles, fascia, and connective tissue, which support movement and stability throughout the body. This technique involves placing specialized cups on the skin to create suction, gently lifting the underlying tissue.

The suction effect helps increase local blood flow, which supports tissue healing by delivering oxygen and nutrients to the affected area. It may also assist with reducing muscle tension and improving tissue mobility. In some cases, cupping can help decrease discomfort by influencing the nervous system, which controls how the body senses pain and movement.

Cupping can be applied in a stationary manner, where cups remain in one place, or dynamically, where the cups are moved across the skin. The method used depends on the treatment goals and the condition being addressed. Temporary circular marks may appear on the skin following treatment. These marks are not bruises, but are a normal response to increased blood flow and typically resolve within several days.

This therapy is commonly used for muscle tightness, post-exercise recovery, and mobility limitations. It is often combined with other therapeutic interventions to support overall function and recovery.
