Cupping Therapy in Kathmandu: Benefits, Procedure & Who Should Try It at Manual Therapy Hospital
Cupping therapy is one of the oldest and most effective physical therapy techniques in the world — and it is available at Manual Therapy Hospital in Kathmandu. Used by elite athletes, physiotherapists, and rehabilitation specialists globally, modern clinical cupping has evolved far beyond its traditional roots into a powerful, evidence-informed treatment for muscle pain, mobility restrictions, and recovery from injury.
If you have noticed circular marks on the backs of athletes at major sporting events and wondered what they are — those are from cupping therapy. At Manual Therapy Hospital, we integrate cupping into our comprehensive treatment programmes for conditions ranging from back pain and neck stiffness to sports injuries and fibromyalgia.
Cupping therapy creates a negative pressure (suction) on the skin and underlying tissue, lifting and separating the layers of fascia, muscle, and connective tissue to promote blood flow, reduce tension, and accelerate healing.
