Cupping therapy works by expanding the capillaries and promoting blood flow into and out of the affected tissues. During a cupping session, the patient lies face-down on a massage table, as cups are strategically placed on the back, arms and/or shoulders, depending on the targeted tissues. After placement, the cups are heated until they create a suction vacuum effect.
Cupping targets skin and deep tissues to relieve pain, break up scar tissue and relax myofascial and connective tissues. Unlike massage, which applies pressure to targeted areas, cupping draws pressure away from affected tissues.
