What Is It?

How Cupping Therapy Works

Cupping therapy uses suction cups placed on the skin to create negative pressure — gently lifting the soft tissue rather than compressing it as massage does. This reverse pressure separates fascial layers, draws blood to the surface and stimulates the body's natural healing response.

The result: faster breakdown of adhesions, improved circulation, reduced inflammation and a deep release of chronic muscle tension that can be hard to reach with hands alone.

At Active Care, we use both static and dynamic cupping techniques, tailored to your specific areas of tension and treatment goals.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Most patients describe a strong pulling or stretching sensation — not painful. The suction feels like a deep tissue massage in reverse. Many people find it deeply relaxing. Any discomfort subsides within seconds as the muscles relax into the cups.
Cupping often leaves circular marks ranging from pink to dark red, depending on how much stagnation is present in the tissue. These are not bruises — they're caused by increased blood flow to the surface. They typically fade within 3–7 days.
Many patients feel significant relief after a single session. For chronic tension or ongoing recovery, a course of 3–6 sessions is typically recommended, often combined with chiropractic or massage therapy.
