I tweaked something lifting, side sleeping, etc. It got to a point that I noticed my range of motion on certain exercises wasn't there. I felt "stuck ". So as part of my regular massage therapy I asked my therapist about cupping these areas.
✨ Benefits of Cupping Therapy
🔴 Increases Blood Flow
The suction created by the cups brings circulation to targeted areas, helping deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues that need repair.
🔴 Reduces Muscle Tension
Think of it as the opposite of compression. Instead of pushing down on tissue, cupping gently lifts it — helping tight, overworked muscles release.
🔴 Supports Recovery
Great after tough workouts, heavy lifting, or long periods of stress on the body. It may help reduce soreness and speed up recovery time.
🔴 Improves Mobility
By decreasing fascial restrictions and muscle stiffness, clients often notice improved range of motion.
🔴 Helps with Chronic Aches & Pains
Many people use cupping for back pain, shoulder tension, neck tightness, and even headaches related to muscular tension.
🔴 Promotes Relaxation
Beyond the physical benefits, cupping stimulates the nervous system in a way that can help shift you out of that high-stress, high-cortisol state and into a more relaxed recovery mode.
I purposely performed chest and shoulders lift today and WOW what a difference!!
