Cupping therapy is a time-tested technique that uses suction to lift the skin and underlying tissues. This negative pressure improves blood flow, reduces muscle tension, and encourages healing in targeted areas of the body. At Levan Physical Therapy, we incorporate modern cupping therapy as part of a holistic rehabilitation plan tailored to your needs.
Cupping may be used alone or in combination with physical therapy techniques like manual therapy, myofascial release, or exercise-based rehabilitation for enhanced results.
Patients at Levan Physical Therapy often report the following benefits after cupping sessions:
Cupping therapy is commonly used to support recovery from:
Chronic neck or back pain
Muscle knots and trigger points
Shoulder or upper trapezius tightness
Fibromyalgia
Tendonitis or repetitive strain injuries
Postural strain
Headaches and migraines
Our skilled therapists assess whether cupping is the right modality for your condition based on your symptoms, activity level, and response to prior treatments.
At our clinic, we use dry cupping, where suction is created using silicone, plastic, or glass cups. The procedure typically involves:
Assessment of target areas based on your symptoms
Placement of cups on the skin for 5–15 minutes depending on the treatment plan
Gentle movement or stationary cupping, depending on your comfort and the condition
Post-session care, including hydration, gentle mobility, and follow-up guidance
Cupping is safe, non-invasive, and usually pain-free. Mild redness or round marks may occur and usually fade within a few days.

Most patients describe cupping as relaxing. You may feel slight tightness from the suction, but it should not be painful. Some redness or marks may appear but typically fade in a few days.
Sessions typically last between 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the treatment area and your personalized plan.
Many patients feel relief after just one session, but for long-term results, we recommend a series of treatments combined with physical therapy.
Cupping is generally safe but may not be suitable for people with certain medical conditions such as skin infections, blood disorders, or if you’re pregnant. We assess each patient’s suitability during consultation.
