Those circular marks aren’t bruises… they’re cupping therapy, one of the techniques we use at BioMechanic Physical Therapy to help patients move better and recover faster.
Cupping works by creating gentle suction on the skin, which helps improve circulation, decrease muscle tension, and restore normal movement between layers of tissue. We often use it for people dealing with back tightness, shoulder pain, running injuries, or soreness that just won’t go away.
It looks intense, but most patients say it actually feels relieving, especially when other treatments haven’t helped.
If you’ve been dealing with pain, stiffness, or an injury that isn’t improving, we can help you figure out why and get you back to doing what you enjoy.
Call (757) 917-7857 to learn how cupping can help you!
