How Cupping Therapy Works

Suction: The cups create a vacuum on the skin, pulling the skin and underlying tissues upward into the cup. This can increase blood flow to the area and stretch the underlying tissue.

Blood Flow: The increased blood flow can promote healing and reduce muscle tension.

Lymphatic System: Cupping stimulates the lymphatic system, helping the body to remove toxins and waste products.
