Find out how the TheraCup Smart Cupping Device fares against more Traditional Cupping Therapy
We have explored the traditional cupping therapy here and learnt how cupping helps with muscle recovery and general health.
Now, we introduce the TheraCup from Therabody - an innovative smart cupping device designed for our modern needs, and see how it fares against more traditional cupping methods.
Difference between TheraCup and Traditional Cupping Therapy
"The heating element definitely helps to promote overall comfort," noted Uncle Sam, CrossFit athlete and founder of FireCity gym and group fitness trainer when sharing his experience using the TheraCup. "Instead of the traditional way of putting heat, flame and fire into the cup before placing it on the body, the heat element in the Theracup is very gentle and comfortable on the skin."
"Vibration is not typically used in more traditional Chinese Medicine practices unless its for accupuncture, however in this case (TheraCup) the vibration function appears to help to improve blood circulation and also eases the neuro receptors to allow the muscles to go into relaxed mode to expedite recovery," he added.
The primary difference between TheraCup and its traditional counterpart lies in the vibration function. The ThermaVibration™ Technology in TheraCup improves muscular strength and aids blood circulation. On top of the suction and heat functions, users can now experience an enhanced cupping therapy with more effective muscle recovery.
“I enjoy the convenience of TheraCup. There’s no need to make an appointment and wait for days to get the service. I can use the TheraCup device before and after my workout, and on the specific body part I need. The effect is instant too,” added Lim Yao Xiang, former Team Singapore swimmer and Water Polo athlete and co-founder of Singapore fitness studio Grit Yard.
TheraCup offers unparalleled convenience without any waiting time. A portable and easy-to-use smart cupping device, users can experience professional cupping therapy anytime, anywhere.
The Verdict

The new vibration function of TheraCup helps to enhance blood circulation and ease sore muscles. This smart cupping device is all in one, easy to pack, and quick to set up,” recommends Uncle Sam.
