📢 HAVE YOU HEARD?: Cupping doesn’t work, there’s no science behind it!
You’ve probably seen that headline.
And to be fair… it’s half true.
The real issue isn’t that cupping doesn’t work
it’s that it hasn’t been properly studied at scale yet.
Most of the research we have is small, inconsistent, or poorly controlled.
So science hasn’t caught up, not because the results aren’t there, but because the data isn’t deep enough yet.
Now here’s where lived experience matters.
In practice, I see real outcomes.
Actual changes in bodies.
°Reduced tension.
°Improved movement.
°Faster recovery.
That deep release you don’t get from surface work alone.
You can’t always measure that easily in a lab, but you can feel it.
The working theories make sense too:
• Increased blood and lymphatic flow
• Fascial decompression
• Nervous system downregulation
• Supporting the body’s own healing response
Whether it’s purely mechanical, neurological, or part of a wider mind–body effect, the results are clear: people move better and feel better.
And honestly, that matters.
It’s not a cure-all.
But used properly, at the right time, on the right body, it’s a powerful tool.
If you’re curious, the best way to understand it isn’t reading headlines. It’s experiencing it.
