Question 4

Which anatomical landmark guides cup placement for treating IT band syndrome with dry cupping?

Accepted Answer

Lateral aspect of the thigh from hip to knee

Answer

The iliotibial band runs along the lateral thigh, so cups are placed along this path to reduce fascial tension and adhesions.
