Muscle Cupping

Muscle cupping, a form of myofascial decompression, is a therapy rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and now widely used in sports and physical therapy settings. It involves placing cups (typically glass, silicone, or plastic) on the skin to create suction, which pulls the skin and superficial muscle layers upward. This technique offers several potential benefits, especially for soft tissue injuries (like muscle strains, sprains, and tendonitis).
