TheraCup Portable Cupping Massage Therapy for Localized Muscle Tension Relief and Blood Circulation in Back, Shoulders, Legs and Body - Smart Cupping Therapy with ThermaVibration Technology (Single)

Product Information

Instead of direct heat, the Achedaway Cupper utilizes red-light therapy, which has proven benefits. The Achedaway Cupper doesn’t vibrate.

For example, you can use rubber cuppers that create weak suction allowing you to glide the cup over the skin (usually the skin is oiled). We like how compact this TheraCup is. The quality is great, and we feel it will serve us for a while. What’s even better, it doesn’t look fragile. When we first got a hold of the Achedaway Cupper, we feared what might happen if we dropped it. It’s not the case with TheraCup by Therabody – it feels sturdy.

Feedback

But you’d need high-tempo vibrations for even better effectiveness, which the TheraCup doesn’t seem to have. Granted, they advertise 1800 to 3000 shakes per minute in the manual, but somehow, the vibrations are gentle (even to the 3 rd setting). They are not quite as effective compared to the suction-heating combo.

Kudos to Therabody for making this a USB-C charging device – you can charge it using a power bank. We’re assuming there isn’t too much juice to recharge because it takes 1-2 hours to fully charge the device. The following are circumstances where the potential risks may outweigh the benefits. Therefore, it is advised that you should seek the advice of a medical professional before using the device. The manual didn’t seem to mention the differences between when the Theracup was blinking green vs. solid green in terms of its LED lights. As a result, I had to fiddle around a bit until I realized that blinking meant that the stim current was active (which you can’t initially tell since it will be on level 1, a current so faint that you won’t likely feel it). All these methods represent a type of cupping known as “Dry Cupping.” This type of cupping is non-aggressive. There is also “Wet Cupping,” where incisions are made over the Dry Cupping areas, and new cups are placed over the cuttings. Yes, we tried gliding the cup on the skin, but it’s quite a hassle. The suction is pretty tight, even at the first level, to allow the cup to glide smoothly.There are two extra cups – all different sizes. But the cups have the same height and the same outer diameter. The inside diameter, though, is different for each cup. These cups are meant to work on different muscles. Or you can use the more advanced smart suppers that dynamically change pressure. The Achedaway Cupper utilizes this technique. Dynamic cupping therapy using Achedaway Cupper – TheraCups’s main rival. Again, this mode, along with mode 1, is my favourite. Mode 2, in particular, does exactly what it sounds like; it pounds the tissue with shot, but intense bursts of electrical activity, causing the muscle to shake or twitch in a repeated fashion. The Theracup is a handy device for those looking to provide muscle stimulation to certain areas of their body. The cupping aspect isn’t quite as effective as traditional cupping measures, but it’s still a nice added bonus of the stim device itself, as the cups still have decent suction.
