Cupping isn’t just for backs 👀
One of my favorite tools in the clinic for pain is **cupping therapy**
So what are those cups actually doing?
The suction creates negative pressure that gently lifts the skin and underlying soft tissue, helping increase local circulation and reduce tension in the muscles and fascia.
More blood flow means more oxygen and nutrients reaching the area, while supporting the body’s natural healing response and movement of metabolic waste.
And yes, we can use cupping on more than just the back.
**Knees, shoulders, hips, neck, legs...** wherever we’re working with pain, tightness, or restricted tissue.
This is one of my favorite tools to have in the toolbox when the body feels stuck. 🫧
Have you tried cupping before?
