HOW WE TREAT
Cupping Therapy
Suction-Based Techniques for Localized Muscle Tension
Muscle tightness and soreness can leave certain areas feeling tense or uncomfortable. Cupping uses specially designed cups to create suction against the skin, lifting the skin and the tissues just beneath it.
At ACRO, cupping may be offered as an additional option for localized muscle discomfort, depending on your concerns and whether the technique is suitable for you.

How Cupping Works
Cups are placed on selected areas to create a pulling sensation. Depending on the technique, they may remain in one position briefly or be moved across the skin.
A Sensation of Release
Some people find that cupping provides temporary relief from muscle tightness or soreness. Individual responses vary, and cupping is considered as an optional approach rather than a necessary part of care.
What to Know After Treatment
The suction may leave temporary circular marks, redness, discoloration, or tenderness that can take several days or longer to fade. Your provider will consider your skin condition, health history, and relevant precautions before treatment.
