Cupping isn’t magic — but here’s why I use it.
I use cupping as an adjunct to massage and movement, particularly when someone feels stiff, tight or restricted.
The goal isn’t to “pull toxins out” or magically heal an injury. It can help create a temporary change in how the area feels, reduce the sensation of tightness and make movement feel easier.
The important part? Cupping is the tool — movement and progressive loading are what build long-term recovery.
If you’re using cupping for muscle recovery, don’t rely on the cups alone. Combine it with the right rehab and exercise.
