Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine, where a therapist places special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. Its purpose is to draw blood away from or inside certain parts of your body. Many people get it done to get relief from pain and inflammation, while many people do it to feel relaxed and a kind of deep tissue massage.
