What does cupping actually do?

Cupping uses gentle suction to lift the skin and superficial soft tissue.

One way we explain it in clinic is that it may create a temporary “decompression” effect through tight or restricted areas. Instead of pushing down like traditional massage, cupping pulls upward.

This may help influence local blood flow, pressure sensitivity, tissue glide, and how the nervous system perceives tightness.

The circular marks can look dramatic, but they are usually a normal skin response to suction. Darker marks do not automatically mean more damage, more toxins, or a better result.

At Myonexis Health Group, cupping may be used as part of Myotherapy or Remedial Massage when it suits the person, the area being treated, and the goal of the session.

It can be used to support people dealing with back tightness, muscle tension, training recovery, or general restricted movement.

Treatment should always match the person, not just the technique.

Dry needling is a technique that uses acupuncture needles injected directly into a myofascial trigger point (“knots”), which is effective in reducing pain and increasing range of motion.
