Cupping Therapy

Used around the world for accelerating muscle recovery and unlocking tight fascia, cupping therapy is a powerful, non-invasive tool that helps you feel better quickly. Our specialists apply cups to create negative pressure, gently pulling the skin and superficial fascia into the cup. This suction creates a space that promotes blood flow and creates an opportunity for more efficient movement.  If you're interested in cupping therapy in Bryan, College Station, or the Brazos Valley community, give ATR Sports Medicine a call today.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• Q: "Why do I see circles on the skin afterward?"  

• A: The red or purple marks you see after cupping look similar to bruises, but they are not painful in the same way. They are a temporary result of the suction pulling blood and cellular debris to the surface of the skin. This indicates that a metabolic exchange has occurred, helping to release stagnation in the tissue. The marks are completely normal and typically fade within several days 

• Q;  "How does it feel?" 

• A:  You may feel a pulling, tightness, or mild pinching sensation when the cups are first applied. Once they are in place, most people describe the sensation as a deep, relaxing pressure. We can adjust the pressure to your comfort level to ensure an effective and therapeutic experience.
