Dry cupping

 

"Why Dry Cupping Is More Than Just a Trend (And How It Could Be the Missing Piece in Your Recovery Journey)"



If you’ve been dealing with stubborn muscle pain, tension, stiffness, or old injuries that just never seem to fully clear up…
If you’ve tried stretching, foam rolling, massage, and exercises, but something still feels “stuck”…
Then dry cupping might just be the missing piece you’ve been looking for.


At Rehab In Progress, we often hear people say:

“Isn’t cupping just a fad?”
“Doesn’t it just leave weird marks?”
“Isn’t it only for athletes?”

And while yes, you might have seen the famous circular marks on athletes like Michael Phelps, dry cupping is so much more than a passing trend.


Done properly, by someone who understands how to use it as part of your rehab and recovery, dry cupping can help:

✔ Release stubborn, deep muscle tension that hands and foam rollers can’t reach
✔ Improve blood flow and circulation to tight, restricted, or painful areas
✔ Reduce inflammation and promote faster recovery — naturally
✔ Free up stuck tissues so you can move more easily and without fear of pain

The biggest mistake people make?
Thinking dry cupping is a one-off gimmick or just a passive treatment.


At Rehab In Progress, we use dry cupping as part of a complete, hands-on approach to help you:

✔ Move better
✔ Feel lighter
✔ Speed up recovery
✔ And finally get back to doing the things you love without pain holding you back

Whether you’re dealing with back pain, shoulder tension, hip stiffness, old injuries, or just that feeling of “being stuck” in your own body
dry cupping might be the key to unlocking freedom of movement again.

And no, it’s not about “leaving marks” — it’s about helping your body heal and function the way it was designed to.

Your Rehab In Progress starts with giving your body the tools it needs to recover fully and naturally.
