Questions
Cupping Therapy — common questions
Cupping is performed by our physical therapist and our physical therapist assistants, as part of treatment within your plan of care.
That is decided at your evaluation. It may be used as part of treatment for muscle tension, pain and movement problems, depending on what the evaluation finds.
Not to get started. Texas direct access lets you be treated for up to 30 consecutive calendar days without one, once our Doctor of Physical Therapy has completed your evaluation and plan of care. If we expect your recovery to need more than 30 days, we request your doctor’s order right after your evaluation, so your care is not delayed when the 30 days end. Some insurance plans also require a physician referral regardless, and we check that before your first visit.
