Cupping therapy is an alternative medicine practice in which special cups are placed on the skin to create suction, intended to improve blood flow and relieve muscle tension or pain. It has roots in traditional Chinese medicine and has gained modern popularity partly due to athletes and celebrities showing cupping marks. Practitioners include massage therapists, acupuncturists, and physical therapists who use it as a complementary treatment.
