Cupping therapy is a treatment that has been around for many years and used in many cultures. In the Torture Room I use a mechanical cupping set designed by the company AchedAway.
This is a negative pressure treatment primarily designed to release tension off the fascia from the muscle. Combined with some infrared therapy this will increase cell repair within the muscle tissue. This combined with the negative pressure of the cups, will promote an increase in blood flow, pain relief, and lymphatic flow to help detoxify the tissue. Using cupping therapy around joints may also increase range of motion.
