• Cupping Therapy is a therapeutic and ancient
  alternative medicine treatment that uses cup-like
  tools with local suction on the skin.  The
  suction helps to provide a lift of the skin and
  facilitate a separation of the soft tissues that
  lay beneath.  This separation creates space which
  promotes fluid movement amongst the circulatory
  and lymphatic system.  The suction can range from
  gentle to deep and can help with pain, tension,
  and restriction found in the soft tissues of the
  body.

• According to the National Center for
  Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH),
  cupping involves placing cups (made of glass,
  plastic, bamboo or ceramic) on the skin to create
  suction. Cups can be placed on the back,
  shoulders, stomach, legs or any muscle group
  where its easy to attach the cups. 
• This suction creates a negative pressure
  environment allowing for myofascial decompression
  as the skin is drawn into the cups, Ebinger
  said. While massage therapy uses direct pressure
  to release tension, cupping uses negative
  pressure to lift the muscle fibers and draw blood
  to the area.

• There are two types of cupping methods, including
  wet and dry. And two cupping techniques, stagnant
  and dynamic.
• Dry cupping uses a pumping method to draw the
  skin tissue inside the cup, Ebinger said. The
  subcutaneous tissue (the bottom layer of your
  skin) is pulled into the cups and held in place
  for a small amount of timeanywhere from 5
  minutes to 15 minutes.
• With dry cupping, the cups can slide across the
  skin or remain in place, known as dynamic and
  stagnant cupping respectively.
• Wet cupping, on the other hand, goes a step
  further. After creating a mild suction, a
  practitioner removes the cup and uses a small
  scalpel to make a tiny cut on that area of the
  skin. Then they use a second suction to draw out
  a small amount of the blood.
