Why Choose Cupping Therapy at MN Spine and Sport?

Our approach to cupping therapy stands out through the use of specialized silicone cups that allow for both traditional static cupping and movement-based techniques. This versatility enables us to target specific problem areas while promoting better muscle function and recovery.

The Science Behind Cupping

Cupping therapy works by:

  • Creating localized decompression of tissue
  • Increasing blood flow to targeted areas
  • Reducing muscle tension and fascial restrictions
  • Promoting natural healing responses
  • Improving lymphatic drainage

What Makes Our Approach Unique

At MN Spine and Sport, we incorporate movement with cupping using RockPods silicone cups. This dynamic approach:

  • Allows for greater tissue mobilization
  • Enhances range of motion
  • Targets specific movement patterns
  • Provides immediate feedback during treatment
  • Can be more effective than traditional static cupping

What to Expect During and After Treatment

During Treatment

  • Sessions last approximately 15-20 minutes
  • You may feel a pulling sensation on your skin
