How Cupping Works: Reverse Pressure to Relieve Tension

Cupping creates negative pressure that gently lifts the skin and underlying tissue. This process, called myofascial decompression, improves circulation and loosens tight connective tissue. It also enhances mobility and supports temperature regulation.
Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing old injuries, or looking for faster post-workout recovery, our team applies these techniques with precision to maximize results.

Why Bissell Clinic’s Clients Choose Cupping

This treatment is ideal for those who want:

  • Improved recovery after surgery or injury with restricted motion
  • Relief from soreness caused by sports or intense activity
  • Better management of lingering discomfort from old injuries
  • Support for knee pain or stiffness that limits daily movement.
Clients often report physical relief and mental relaxation, making cupping a holistic tool for overall wellness.

  • Expert Practitioners: Our team is trained in both traditional and modern cupping methods and stays updated on the latest research for optimal results.
  • Comprehensive Assessment: We start every session with a full evaluation of your concerns, medical history, and movement patterns, ensuring your plan is customized.
  • State-of-the-Art Facility: Modern, safe, and sanitized treatment rooms provide a comfortable environment for every session.
  • Proven Results: Patients consistently report improvements in mobility, circulation, and overall pain relief.
  • Integrated Care: Cupping is combined with chiropractic, physical therapy, and other modalities for a complete, whole-body approach to wellness.

What to Expect During Your Session

Before your first session, your practitioner will review your history and explain how cupping works and why it may help you. Cups stay on for 3–5 minutes, creating a gentle pulling or tingling sensation. Marks may appear, but they are harmless and fade within a few days. Your practitioner may incorporate gentle movement to support functional motion and enhance results.
Some patients feel relief immediately, while others notice improvements in the days that follow. Our experts will guide you through what to expect and how to maximize results.

Cupping Myths Debunked

  • Cupping does not pull toxins out of the body.
  • The marks are not indicators of healing. They are simply surface responses.
  • This treatment is gentle and safe when performed by trained professionals.
  • Our approach is informed by research, not outdated beliefs.
