Dynamic cupping — also known as moving cupping — is a technique in which suction cups are glided smoothly across the skin, usually over a thin layer of oil, rather than left in one place. The continuous gliding motion combines the lifting effect of suction with the flowing strokes of massage, stretching tight fascia and muscle fibres along their natural lines. It is especially effective for larger muscle groups such as the back, thighs, and shoulders, and is increasingly offered as a complement to massage, sports recovery, and physiotherapy sessions.
