Isolating stubborn trigger points and addressing joint adhesions often requires more targeted mechanical grip than standard circular cups can deliver. The GRPS® Cupping Therapy Set introduces an innovative, multi-tasking approach to myofascial decompression. Designed with a distinct patent-pending profile that leaves an octagon-shaped cupping mark, this system combines medium-to-strong negative pressure with high tactile grip to help increase circulation, alleviate pain, enhance flexibility, and accelerate athletic recovery.
Trusted by Olympic and professional athletes, trainers, and licensed therapists worldwide, GRPS® cups are engineered for versatile use across trigger points, hands, feet, articulating joints, and medium-to-large muscle groups. Crafted responsibly from food-grade silicone free from BPA, phthalates, PVC, latex, and plastic fillers, these durable cups give practitioners and active individuals reliable decompression performance whether at the clinic, home, gym, or on the road.
Why Athletes and Bodyworkers Choose the GRPS® Cupping System
-
Distinct Octagon Decompression Profile: Patent-pending geometry creates reliable skin traction, delivers medium-to-strong suction, and leaves a signature octagon-shaped cupping mark.
-
Engineered for Extremities & Joints: Specifically shaped to anchor securely across difficult anatomical contours, including trigger points, hands, feet, knees, and compact joint margins.
-
Dynamic Pin-and-Stretch Capability: Ideal for dynamic internal glide protocols, allowing the therapist or athlete to anchor the cup over bound tissue while performing slow, active movement to shear deep adhesions.
-
Multi-Level Adaptability: Calibrated with versatile medium-strong suction suitable for beginner, intermediate, and advanced cupping protocols.
-
Pure Food-Grade Silicone: Responsibly crafted from non-reactive, non-porous silicone free from BPA, phthalates, PVC, latex, and plastic fillers for long-lasting durability.
-
Complete Mobility & Training Kit: Includes a waterproof travel bag, lifetime access to educational instructional videos, and live customer support.
Application Protocols
-
Stationary Cupping: Apply oil or emollient to clean skin for an optimal seal. Compress the cup, place it over the target trigger point or muscle group, and release to engage suction. Leave in place for 3 to 5 minutes. You may also gently lift and release, rotate, or move the cup side-to-side while anchored.
-
Dynamic Internal Glide (Pin & Stretch): Apply suction over the restricted area for 3 to 5 minutes, then take the underlying joint through a slow, active range of motion to mobilize tissue layers beneath the cup.
-
Flash Cupping: Suction the cup to the target area, immediately lift up, release, and reposition across adjacent areas to stimulate localized superficial tissue.

The Massage King Perspective: Pin-and-Stretch Decompression for Athletic Recovery
Most athletes and active clients understand the importance of breaking up fascial restrictions, but standard downward pressure on a foam roller can compress already inflamed muscle tissue. Decompression changes that dynamic by lifting the superficial layers and separating bound connective tissue.
Where the GRPS® set shines is during active internal glide work—often called pin-and-stretch. By anchoring the cup firmly over a restricted muscle belly or joint interface and guiding the client through active ranges of motion, you create functional shear between tissue layers. The geometric rim provides excellent mechanical grip for the therapist's fingers, giving you stable traction on hands, feet, and joints without slipping during heavy sweat or emollient use.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between stationary cupping and dynamic internal glide?
Stationary cupping involves applying the cup to a single trigger point or restriction and leaving it anchored for 3 to 5 minutes to promote localized perfusion. Dynamic internal glide (pin & stretch) anchors the cup in place while you perform active, slow movements through the joint's range of motion, creating mechanical shear beneath the cup.
Why does this cup leave an octagon-shaped mark?
The patent-pending internal and rim geometry of the GRPS® cup features a faceted profile that distributes medium-strong suction into an octagon configuration, leaving a distinct octagonal mark instead of the traditional round ring.
Can these cups be used on smaller areas like the hands and feet?
Yes. The GRPS® set is specifically engineered for hands, feet, and joint margins, as well as medium and large muscle groups, providing a dependable seal over varied anatomical contours.
Do I need to apply an emollient or oil with this set?
Applying an oil or emollient to clean skin prior to placement is recommended. It creates an airtight seal for maximum suction hold and ensures smooth handling during active movement protocols.
