Cups with a pump

Pump cuppers are cupping tools that use a manual pump to create a vacuum. Cupping is a centuries-old traditional Chinese medicine practice that is often used to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and alleviate various health problems.

Pump domes usually consist of a clear plastic or glass bowl and a separate handy pump connected to the dome by a vial or tube. The user places the cup on their skin and uses a pump to remove the air, creating a vacuum. The vacuum then pulls the skin and muscle tissue inside the cup, promoting blood flow and relaxing the muscles.

Pump cups offer more control over the strength of the vacuum compared to traditional fire cupping or silicone cups. This allows users to adjust the intensity of the treatment according to their needs and comfort level.

Pump cup sets often include cups in different sizes and shapes, allowing them to be used on different parts of the body. However, they require a bit more skill and care in use compared to silicone cups.

Before using pump cups, it is recommended that you consult with a healthcare professional or licensed therapist to ensure the method is appropriate and safe for your individual health needs.
