Dry cupping therapy is another modality used by our certified RMTs to relieve muscle tension, improve blood circulation, release excess fluid and toxins, and stimulate the nervous system. Therapists use plastic cups and a pump to create negative pressure (or suction) over muscle. This suction creates space between the layers of muscle and tissue and draws blood to the area, effectively relaxing the muscle. The effects of cupping can lead to some discoloration of the skin, ranging from faint red to deep purple. The degree of discoloration depends on the level of stagnation of blood in the tissue. These bruises can last anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks. Slight tenderness at the site of cupping is also common for a few days. Although cupping therapy can be beneficial for many, it is not recommended for those with circulatory conditions or blood disorders. This is due to the increase in blood circulation that accompanies this modality. If you have any concerns about whether cupping is right for you, please consult your physician.
