Our Story
How it began...
Have you ever noticed
circular marks on someone’s arms, back or legs that look like bruises?
These “bruises” are most likely the result of cupping therapy, which is growing in popularity for its ability to manage pain, improve circulation, manage stress and overall just good for maintaining the body’s functions. But... these bruises are NOT bruises.
Cupping was only available as a secondary option to manual therapies like acupuncture, chiropractic, massage and/or physical therapy.
The Cupping Box was established to address a common dilemma:
where to find reliable cupping services. As the first business in the country dedicated exclusively to cupping, The Cupping Box offers a unique, high-quality experience that stands out in the wellness industry. Our services are designed to be
quick, affordable, and accessible to everyone, ensuring that each session is performed in a comfortable and welcoming environment and location.
