What Is Cupping Therapy?

Cupping therapy is a modern recovery treatment designed to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural healing process. During treatment, specialized cups create gentle suction on the skin to help decompress tight muscles and fascia.

Many people use cupping therapy to reduce soreness, improve mobility, and accelerate recovery from workouts, injuries, or everyday stress. The treatment can also help improve blood flow, decrease stiffness, and relieve built-up tension throughout the body.

Unlike treatments that only focus on symptoms, cupping therapy helps target areas of restriction and muscle tightness so you can move more freely and comfortably.

How Does Cupping Therapy Work?

At Active Family & Wellness, our cupping treatments are customized to each patient’s specific needs and recovery goals. We combine modern movement-based care with evidence-informed treatment techniques to help reduce pain and restore mobility.

During your appointment, cups are placed strategically on targeted muscle groups to create gentle decompression of tight tissues. This can help improve circulation, reduce tension, and promote faster recovery after activity or injury.

CrossFit athlete returning to full training after injury with guidance from ACTive Family Physical Therapy

Mick has been more than a physical therapist at CF904. He has been a team mate, and someone who has involved himself with the community. He is constantly asking how certain members are doing after he has treated them. He is always communicating what to look out for for those members he has treated, and how to help them during class. As a business partner, he has been fantastic. As a therapist, he rises above. He isn’t a “treat you forever” therapist, but one who wants to get you fixed, healed, and on your way to continue accomplishing your goals. He is very conscious of what his clients take best to as far as treatment plans and is very sensitive....

CrossFit athlete and physician training together after completing a recovery program with ACTive Family Physical Therapy

I was considering surgery, but now I don't need it!
Mick helped me overcome chronic knee pain and swelling that was interferring with my daily activities. I never felt pressured or judged if I was unable to complete my assigned exercises between appointments. He also helped me understand why I was doing each exercise so I have the knowledge to help myself in the future if I have another injury.
As a healthcare provider, I appreciated Mick's willingness to be my physical therapist and also a trusted consultant. As a
provider who does CrossFit, Mick understands the movements and how to modify them appropriately to reach my goals.
10/10 would recommend, especially if you are a CrossFit athlete!
