What Is Dry Cupping Therapy?

Dry cupping therapy is a therapeutic technique that uses suction to create negative pressure on your skin and the underlying tissues. During treatment, specialized cups are gently placed on the skin, and the air inside the cups is removed to create a vacuum effect. This suction increases blood flow to the targeted area, encouraging healing, reducing tension, and flushing out toxins

Unlike wet cupping, which involves small incisions, dry cupping is entirely non-invasive and focuses on stimulating natural repair processes in the body. At Elite Physio Ottawa, our experienced practitioners combine this ancient technique with modern knowledge to deliver safe, effective, and personalized care.
