DRY CUPPING: MYTHS VS FACTS 🫧
Think cupping is all about leaving big bruises? Think again 👀
❌ MYTH: Cupping removes toxins from your body
✅ FACT: Cupping may increase local blood flow and create a temporary change in the tissues, but your liver and kidneys are responsible for removing waste from the body.
❌ MYTH: The darker the marks, the more toxins you had
✅ FACT: The marks are caused by changes in blood flow and tiny blood vessels under the skin. Darker marks don’t mean you had more toxins.
❌ MYTH: Cupping should be painful
✅ FACT: You may feel pulling, pressure or tightness, but it shouldn’t be excessively painful.
❌ MYTH: Cupping is only for athletes
✅ FACT: It can be used as part of a wider treatment approach for a range of muscular aches, tightness and recovery goals.
❌ MYTH: The marks are bruises that mean something is damaged
✅ FACT: Cupping marks are temporary and usually fade within several days, although this varies from person to person.
💚 The important bit: Cupping isn’t a miracle cure. It’s one tool that can be used alongside hands-on treatment, exercise and rehabilitation to help you feel and move better.
