American Association of Cupping Therapy

The American Association of Cupping Therapy (AACT) is a professional organization dedicated to promoting safe, effective, and standardized cupping therapy practices in the United States. Cupping is a traditional technique that uses glass, silicone, or plastic cups placed on the skin to create suction, which is believed to stimulate blood flow, relieve muscle tension, and support overall well-being. The AACT provides education, certification, and resources for practitioners, ensuring they adhere to best practices. It also promotes research and awareness of cupping as a complementary health modality within the broader healthcare community.
