How to use TheraCup

• Once you're comfortable, switch the device ON by sliding the MasterSwitch to the right. The battery status LED confirms that the device is ON.
• To begin cupping, briefly press the suction (middle) button. You can also use this button to cycle through pressure settings (low, medium, high).
• Before using it on your intended area (e.g., back, arms, legs), you can place the cup on your forearm to adjust settings. Once ready, apply it to the chosen area and gently push the cup onto the skin for suction.
• Activate vibration by briefly pressing the vibration button. Use this button to adjust vibration speed with short presses. A long press deactivates vibration.
• To introduce heat therapy, press the heat button briefly. You can toggle between three temperature levels with short presses. A long press turns off the heat treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does cupping therapy do?

Cupping therapy is an old Chinese treatment that helps muscles. Instead of pressing on the skin, it pulls to loosen the fascia around muscles. This helps muscles recover by releasing pressure in the tissues and increasing blood flow.

2. Is cupping therapy painful?

Cupping therapy might feel a bit strange at first, but it usually doesn't hurt. It's like your skin is getting gently pulled or tugged. Some people get funny bruises, but they disappear fast and don't hurt much. Just talk to your therapist during the session if you need any changes – it's all part of the experience!

3. Why can’t you shower after cupping?

After a cupping session, wait a few hours before showering. Your skin has been stretched and pulled, and your pores are more open. Jumping into a hot shower too soon can irritate your skin and make the marks take longer to heal. Also, your body is still getting rid of toxins that cupping helped move around. Waiting a bit before getting wet helps your skin and lets your body do its thing.
