Cupping Therapy in Houston, TX Rooted Spine & Sport

If you're dealing with muscle tightness, limited mobility, or stubborn pain that just won’t go away, cupping therapy is one of the most effective natural treatments to help you move and feel better. At Rooted Spine & Sport, we use modern cupping techniques to decrease muscle tension, improve circulation, and speed up recovery—especially for athletes, active adults, and anyone battling chronic tightness.

Whether you live in the Memorial, CityCentre, Spring Branch, or Heights area, our clinic offers personalized cupping therapy that targets the root cause of your discomfort, not just the symptoms.

What Conditions Does Cupping Help?

At Rooted Spine & Sport, cupping is commonly used to treat:

  • Lower back pain

  • Neck and shoulder tightness

  • Sciatica and nerve irritation

  • Hip flexor and glute tightness

  • Muscle strains

  • IT band tension

  • Plantar fasciitis

  • Headaches and tension migraines

  • Sports recovery

  • Poor posture and desk-related discomfort

We pair cupping with chiropractic care, dry needling, mobility work, and personalized rehab when needed for the best long-term results.

What Is Cupping Therapy?

Cupping therapy is a hands-on technique that uses suction to gently lift the skin and underlying tissues. This suction increases blood flow, releases fascial restrictions, and helps the body remove waste products that can build up in tight or overworked muscles.

Unlike the traditional style often associated with long-term bruising, we use a more modern, movement-based cupping approach. This allows us to work through your ranges of motion while the cups remain in place—creating faster, more functional results.

Benefits of Cupping Therapy

Cupping offers a long list of benefits, especially for people who live active lifestyles or deal with repetitive stress from work or sports. Our patients commonly experience:

✔ Reduced muscle tightness

Cupping improves tissue flexibility and helps release stubborn areas that stretching alone can’t reach.

✔ Better mobility and range of motion

By lifting tissue layers, cupping helps joints move easier and muscles glide more smoothly.

✔ Faster recovery from workouts and sports

Athletes love cupping for helping reduce delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS).

✔ Decreased chronic pain

Great for back pain, neck tension, hip tightness, shoulder pain, and overuse injuries.

✔ Improved circulation and lymphatic flow

This helps flush inflammation, promote healing, and support overall tissue health.

✔ Relief from stress and muscle fatigue

Cupping is one of the quickest ways to reset tight, overworked muscles.

What to Expect During Your Cupping Session?

Your session is always customized to your needs and your activity level. Here’s what your visit will look like:

  1. Assessment – We first look at your movement and identify the muscles causing your pain or tightness.

  2. Cupping Application – Cups are placed on specific areas of tension. We use both stationary and dynamic (movement-based) techniques.

  3. Guided Movement – You may move through stretches or mobility drills while the cups stay on to improve tissue glide.

  4. Combination Therapy – If needed, we combine cupping with chiropractic adjustments, dry needling, or soft tissue work.

  5. Results – Most people feel looser, lighter, and notice better mobility immediately after their session.

Expect mild pink or red marks that fade in 2–5 days. These are normal signs of increased circulation and tissue release.
