Dry Cupping Therapy is a specialized manual technique used to promote circulation, reduce muscle tension, and support the body’s natural healing processes. This therapy involves placing cups on the skin to create a controlled suction, which gently lifts the underlying tissues and encourages blood flow to the targeted area.

Unlike other forms of cupping, dry cupping does not involve any incisions or bleeding. It is a non-invasive technique commonly integrated into therapeutic treatments for musculoskeletal conditions and overall wellness support.

Benefits of Dry Cupping may include:

Relief from muscular pain, stiffness, and tension

Improved local circulation and lymphatic drainage

Reduction of inflammation and tissue congestion

Support for athletic recovery and physical performance

Promotion of relaxation and stress relief

Dry cupping may leave temporary, painless discoloration on the skin—an expected result of increased blood flow to the area. Treatments are typically well-tolerated and are performed by trained professionals who prioritize client comfort, safety, and hygiene.

Dry cupping can be offered as a standalone therapy or integrated into broader treatment plans.
