Cupping is a manual therapy technique utilized in physical therapy for the treatment of skin, soft tissue and muscles. Cupping involves the placement of cups on the skin with the goal of creating suction. The suction the cups create helps to improve blood flow, which promotes healing, as well as soften tight muscles and tendons, loosen adhesions and lift connective tissue.
