Cupping therapy is a common treatment method in the sports medicine and massage therapy world. A plastic cup is placed onto the skin in the area of pain and then the air is pumped out of the cup creating a suction effect.

While the cups are on the skin, various physiological responses occur. Some of these responses include vasodilation, removal of toxins, muscle relaxation, and activation of the immune system. These effects lead to a decrease in pain, increase in range of motion, and promotion of the body’s own healing abilities.
