Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation, and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage. Treatments last 30-60 minutes and we recommend weekly treatments for 1 month. Patients may experience minimal bruising which will heal in 5-7 days.
