Cupping is like giving your muscles a little love with some help from glass or plastic cups.

These cups create a vacuum using heat or a pump, drawing circulation to specific areas, like a mini massage for your connective tissues. It helps get things moving by breaking up stagnation and giving your cells a fresh burst of oxygen, leaving you feeling refreshed and energized.

Don’t worry—it’s not painful! You might leave with some cool bruise-like marks, which are totally normal and can hang around for up to a week. Think of them as your cupping battle scars.
