Cupping therapy is an ancient practice where special cups are placed on the skin and suction is created, either by heat (fire cupping) or mechanical suction (vacuum cupping). The suction lifts the tissue, promoting blood flow, loosening fascia, and releasing tension. It is used in both TCM and sports medicine.

During cupping therapy, a practitioner will place special cups onto your skin to create suction; this pulls the tissue beneath the cups upwards and increases the flow of blood to the area. Cupping is thought to help draw out impurities, facilitate healing, and improve the body’s energy flow. You can choose to have dry cupping (which we’ve described above) or wet cupping, which involves puncturing your skin with sterile needles so that blood is physically drawn out through the suction process.

Studies have shown that cupping may improve blood and lymph circulation to the skin and reduce inflammation.

Cupping can relieve muscle tension and pain, improve circulation, reduce inflammation, aid recovery from sports injuries, help with respiratory conditions, and promote deep relaxation. The characteristic circular marks left after cupping fade within days.
