When Olympic athletes started showing up with circular marks on their backs, the whole world wanted to know what cupping was. At J.P. Hou Institute, we have been performing cupping therapy in Orlando for decades — long before it became trendy.
What Do the Marks Mean?
The circular discolorations left by cupping are not bruises. They are caused by the suction drawing stagnant blood and metabolic waste to the surface of the skin, where the body can clear it more efficiently. The darker the mark, the greater the stagnation in that area. Marks typically fade within 3–7 days.
Who Benefits Most from Cupping in Orlando?
- Athletes and active people with muscle tightness and sports injuries
- Patients with chronic neck, shoulder, or back pain
- People recovering from auto accident injuries
- Anyone dealing with respiratory conditions or frequent illness
- Patients experiencing stress-related muscle tension
