How many days should I rest after cupping?

Most people do not need several days of complete rest after cupping therapy, but it is usually best to take it easy for the rest of the day. You may feel relaxed, tired, or mildly sore after treatment, especially if cupping was used for muscle tension, stiffness, or general body recovery.

For the first 24 hours after cupping, avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, very hot showers, saunas, and swimming. Follow your practitioner’s aftercare advice and allow any cupping marks to fade naturally over the next few days.
