Cupping is a distinctive bodywork practice that employs specialized cups placed on the skin to generate suction. This suction is designed to enhance blood flow, relieve muscle tension, and foster healing. With a history spanning thousands of years across cultures such as ancient Egypt and China, cupping has long been utilized to address conditions like pain, inflammation, and muscle tightness. The cups themselves vary in material—ranging from glass and bamboo to plastic and silicone—and the technique encompasses several forms, including dry cupping, wet cupping, and moving cupping. At Strategic Bodywork, we utilize plastic and silicone cups, focusing exclusively on dry cupping and moving cupping to deliver effective, targeted relief.
