Honolulu Clinic Highlights Modern Cupping Therapy
Honolulu, United States – February 23, 2026 / Dynamic Stretch Therapy /
HONOLULU – February 17, 2026 – Dynamic Stretch Therapy released updated information outlining how modern dry cupping therapy is used in clinical settings to support circulation, mobility, and musculoskeletal recovery.
Cupping therapy has historical roots in several traditional healing systems. However, the practice notes that contemporary clinical cupping differs significantly from older methods such as fire cupping or wet cupping. Modern dry cupping used in physical therapy settings involves controlled suction without skin incision or bloodletting and aligns with current safety standards.
According to Dynamic Stretch Therapy, cupping works by creating negative pressure on the skin and underlying tissue. Unlike massage techniques that compress tissue, cupping gently lifts it. This lifting action may increase localized blood flow, reduce fascial stiffness, and alter pain signaling patterns. Clinical observations suggest that improved circulation and tissue mobility can support recovery from both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
The practice reports that cupping is commonly incorporated into broader treatment plans rather than used as a standalone intervention. Conditions frequently addressed include back pain, neck tension, shoulder tightness, postural strain, and sports-related recovery. Athletes and office-based professionals may both experience benefits when cupping is combined with movement-based therapy.
Dynamic Stretch Therapy also addressed common misconceptions about cupping marks. Circular discoloration following treatment is not considered bruising in the traditional sense but reflects temporary changes in superficial blood flow. Marks typically fade within several days.
The clinic emphasized that cupping does not “remove toxins” from the body. Detoxification is primarily handled by the liver and kidneys. Instead, cupping supports circulation and tissue mobility, which may indirectly aid normal physiologic processes.
Not all individuals are candidates for cupping therapy. The practice advises avoiding cupping over open wounds, fragile skin, active infections, or varicose veins. Individuals with bleeding disorders or those using anticoagulant medication should seek medical clearance prior to treatment.
Treatment frequency varies depending on individual goals. Acute pain management may involve weekly sessions, while maintenance care may occur monthly. Each treatment plan is tailored based on movement assessment and overall functional goals.
