Cupping therapy is a time-tested technique that uses gentle suction to release tension, improve circulation, and promote healing. By creating negative pressure on the skin, cupping helps to loosen tight muscles, lift connective tissue, and boost blood flow to targeted areas.
A typical session may begin with the application of oil to allow cups to glide smoothly over the skin, generating warmth and stimulating circulation. Stationary cups may then be placed and left in position for 10–20 minutes to deliver a sustained stretch to the fascia and encourage deeper tissue release.
