How it works
Inside a cupping session.
Place the cups
Silicone or glass cups are placed on the target area with a small amount of skin-safe oil.
Apply suction
The cups create negative pressure that lifts the skin and superficial fascia away from deeper tissue.
Static or gliding
Depending on the goal we either leave the cups in place for 5-10 minutes or glide them slowly across the area.
Pair with movement
You move the joint through range while cupping to encourage tissue glide.

Questions from local patients
Costa Mesa FAQs.
How far is Aligned Health from Costa Mesa for cupping?
Aligned Health is about 25 minutes from Costa Mesa via I-405 and CA-55 (Costa Mesa Fwy). Most Costa Mesa patients treat it as a normal part of their week, not a special trip.
Do the marks hurt or damage skin?
No. The marks are surface-level and fade in a few days. They’re not bruises from impact; they’re from suction, which is a very different mechanism.
How is cupping different from scraping?
Cupping pulls tissue up; scraping shears across it. We often use both in the same session because they address the fascia from different angles.
