Why Cupping Therapy Works for Bend Athletes

Start Your Recovery Journey

 Will Brown

  • "I couldn't recommend Capacity more highly. I spent 4 months at another PT in town addressing the area that was giving me pain, but the pain kept coming back. From my first session at Capacity, it was clear that their approach was different—they took the time to understand how my entire body was moving rather than just focusing on the painful area. The combination of education, thoughtful progression, and focus on long-term resilience helped me address the root cause of my issues rather than chasing symptoms. I am a happier, healthier, and more confident athlete because of my time at Capacity."

What Bend Athletes Say About Capacity PT

  • "My experience with Capacity Performance Therapy has been nothing but incredible. They practice with intent and are attentive to the many aspects of health—both physical AND emotional. I have personally never experienced a more comprehensive and evidence-based rehabilitation program. I am returning to sport feeling stronger, more informed, and better prepared for long miles and stress/strain in general."

    Joelle Debban

  • "Nick at Capacity has helped me rehab multiple sport-related injuries. We have been working together for years now to keep me in the gym and excelling at all my activities. Best place to go for athletes. The normal in-network PT office program does not cut it. You need the full hour with the doctor and the programming to fix things."

    Ty Kelly

  • "I am a lifelong athlete, and have dealt with many injuries, including having a hip replacement in my 40's. I've been to a lot of physical therapists over the years and I can say that Capacity Performance Therapy has given me amazing results in a short period of time. Coming from someone who has been around the block, I would highly recommend Capacity Performance Therapy."

 Frequently Asked Questions

  • Cupping therapy should not be painful. You may feel a tight pulling sensation as the cups create suction on your skin, but most clients find it relaxing and therapeutic. Some people experience mild soreness afterward, similar to post-workout muscle soreness, which typically resolves within 24-48 hours. Our therapists adjust the intensity based on your comfort level and treatment goals.

  • The circular marks left by cupping therapy typically fade within 3-7 days, though this varies based on the intensity of treatment and your individual circulation. These marks are not bruises—they're caused by increased blood flow to the treated area. Many athletes wear them as a badge of honor! If you have an event or occasion where you'd prefer minimal marking, let your therapist know and we can adjust the technique.

  • At Capacity Performance Therapy, we operate as a private pay clinic, which allows us to provide 60+ minute one-on-one sessions without insurance restrictions. While cupping therapy itself may not be separately billable, it's integrated into our comprehensive physical therapy sessions. We provide detailed receipts (superbills) that you can submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement. We're transparent about pricing from day one—no surprise bills.
