Cupping therapy (myofascial decompression) involves creating a local suction on the skin by means of a mechanical device (hand pump). The underlying skin is sucked or raised partway into the cup. As a result, blood flow to the affected area is enhanced, which in turn activates the immune system, flushes the area, and stretches the tissue. Though most-used for musculoskeletal pain relief, the clinical applications are numerous.
