Those circular marks aren't bruises—they're evidence of something working. 💪 Cupping therapy creates suction on the skin's surface to decompress underlying tissue, pull fresh blood flow into restricted areas, and accelerate the removal of metabolic waste from overworked muscles.
Unlike traditional massage that compresses tissue, cupping lifts it—reaching fascial adhesions and deep tension that hands alone can't always access. It's particularly effective for upper back tightness, IT band restriction, and recovery between training sessions.
At NEXT Clinic, cupping is offered by multiple practitioners and can be integrated directly into your acupuncture, chiropractic, or physiotherapy appointment.
