Cupping therapy is an ancient healing practice that uses specially designed cups to create suction on the skin, helping to reduce pain and inflammation, reduce muscle tension, and improve blood flow. A cupping therapy treatment stimulates blood flow to specific areas on the body, alleviating pain, stiffness, and inflammation. In dry cupping, suction is created with a machine or hand pump, whereas hot cupping involves a heat source and warm cups. Both cupping techniques can be beneficial for a variety of issues, including chronic pain, muscle soreness, and stress.
