Why Cupping Is the Best of the Best
If you’ve ever noticed those mysterious circular marks on an athlete, celebrity, or maybe your friend — that’s Cupping. Cupping is more than a trend- and actually has been around for thousands of years. And it’s still one of the best therapies out there for pain relief, stress reduction, and boosting overall health.
Here’s why cupping really is the best of the best.
What Is Cupping?
Cupping involves placing small round cups on the skin to create suction. This suction gently lifts the skin and muscle tissue, helping to release tension, improve circulation, and bring fresh blood flow to the area.
There are different styles — like fire cupping, where a flame is briefly held inside the cup before it’s placed on the skin (no, it doesn’t burn you). Cups can be kept still or moved across the muscles, depending on what your body needs. When performed by a licensed acupuncturist, cupping is both safe and effective.
Why It’s the Best
Pain Relief – Melts away tight shoulders, stiff necks, and sore muscles.
Circulation Boost – Brings fresh, oxygen-rich blood to areas that need healing.
Immune Support – Stimulates a healthy immune response + gets lymph moving.
Stress Reset – Deeply relaxing and tension-melting (goodbye, overwhelm 👋)
Backed by Both Tradition + Science
Cupping is medicine that has been around for thousands of years and heavily researched. It has roots in Chinese medicine, but was also used in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Russian medicine. And research backs up what healers have known for centuries:
Neck pain: Lauche et al. (2011) found that patients receiving 5 cupping sessions in 2 weeks had significantly less pain compared to controls.
Low back pain: Markowski et al. (2014) reported less pain and better range of motion after cupping treatments.
