WHY IT FEELS DIFFERENT
Most Recovery Tools Push Down.
SmartCup™ Lifts.
Foam rollers compress. Massage guns percuss. SmartCup creates controlled negative pressure that gently draws the skin and superficial tissue into the cup. It is a mechanically different sensation — useful for runners who already stretch, roll or use percussion but want another option in their routine.
SMART CUPPING
NEGATIVE PRESSURE ↑
Smart cupping gently lifts the skin and superficial tissue into the cup.
01
LIFT
Controlled suction creates the characteristic cupping lift over the selected muscular area.
02
LOCAL RESPONSE
Research on negative-pressure cupping has observed temporary changes including increased local skin blood flow around treated areas.
03
RECOVERY RESEARCH
Cupping has been studied for pain-related outcomes, mobility and athletic recovery, although evidence varies across studies and individuals.
PEOPLE IN PAIN STUDIES
Across 72 trials, cupping often reduced pain more than comparison treatments. Evidence quality was low.
BLOOD FLOW AT PEAK
A laboratory test measured a temporary 16.7× rise in local skin blood flow after one cupping protocol.
ATHLETES IN 11 TRIALS
Some trials reported less pain, better movement, or improved recovery markers. Results were too mixed to say every athlete improved.
Research findings relate to cupping therapy generally, not specifically to Active Reset SmartCup™. Results vary by person, protocol, and condition.
YOUR POST-RUN RESET
Recovery Shouldn’t Feel Like Another Workout.
You already did the run. SmartCup stays in place after you apply it. Place it. Set it. Let it work. The best recovery routine is often the one simple enough to actually repeat.

RUNNER REALITY
Different Run. Same Spots.
Ask runners where they usually feel a hard session and many can answer immediately: calves, quads, lower legs, and sometimes the muscular areas around the knees. That predictability is exactly why recovery becomes a routine instead of a one-off event.
TOPIC 01
Tight Calves
Calves are one of the most obvious places runners notice after hard sessions, hills and longer mileage. Different run. Same calves.
RESEARCH SNAPSHOT
A systematic review included 11 trials and 498 amateur and professional athletes across soccer, swimming, gymnastics, handball, track and field, and other sports.
498 athletes · 11 trialsHow to use Active Reset SmartCup™ for this
Choose the calf area
Use SmartCup on an appropriate fleshy muscular area of the calf rather than over bones, joints, irritated skin or an acute injury.
Start low
Begin with a conservative suction setting and increase gradually only while comfortable.
Make it repeatable
Use according to the supplied instructions as part of a simple post-run routine.
Safety: Do not use SmartCup™ directly on an acute injury, significant swelling, bruising or a suspected muscle tear. Seek appropriate medical advice when an injury is suspected.
TOPIC 02
Worked Quads
Hard efforts, hills and longer sessions can leave the quads feeling heavily worked. SmartCup can be built into a simple post-run routine on appropriate muscular areas of the thigh.
RESEARCH SNAPSHOT
A systematic review included 11 trials and 498 amateur and professional athletes across soccer, swimming, gymnastics, handball, track and field, and other sports.
498 athletes · 11 trialsHow to use Active Reset SmartCup™ for this
Choose an appropriate muscular area
Place SmartCup™ over suitable quadriceps muscle tissue rather than directly over the knee or bony areas.
Keep suction comfortable
Recovery does not require maximum intensity. Start conservatively.
Reset after the run
Build a short SmartCup™ session into the post-run routine you can realistically repeat.
Safety: Do not use SmartCup™ directly over the knee, bony areas, irritated skin or an acute injury. Follow the supplied instructions and seek professional guidance if unsure.
TOPIC 03
Around the Knees
Runners sometimes notice the muscular areas above and around the knee after harder mileage. SmartCup should be placed on appropriate muscular tissue rather than directly over the kneecap or bony joint surface.
RESEARCH SNAPSHOT
A systematic review included 11 trials and 498 amateur and professional athletes across soccer, swimming, gymnastics, handball, track and field, and other sports.
498 athletes · 11 trialsHow to use Active Reset SmartCup™ for this
Stay on muscular tissue
Place SmartCup on an appropriate muscular area above or around the knee, never directly over the kneecap or bony joint surface.
Start conservatively
Use a comfortable level of suction. More intensity is not automatically better.
Know when to seek help
Persistent, sharp, swollen or unexplained knee symptoms should be professionally assessed.
Safety: Do not use SmartCup directly over the knee joint, bony surfaces, irritated tissue or an acute injury.
TOPIC 04
Lower-Leg Hotspots
After hills, speed work or long mileage, certain lower-leg muscular areas can feel especially worked. Use controlled, comfortable suction only on appropriate muscular areas and never over injured or irritated tissue.
RESEARCH SNAPSHOT
Evidence reviews have reported moderate evidence for improvements in soft-tissue flexibility, while evidence for broader musculoskeletal outcomes remains more limited.
22-study musculoskeletal evidence reviewHow to use Active Reset SmartCup™ for this
Choose the muscular area
Use the device only where an appropriate muscular seal can be achieved, away from joints and bony landmarks.
Find a comfortable setting
Start low and gradually adjust.
Follow with easy movement
If appropriate, combine your session with comfortable mobility or normal movement afterward.
Safety: Do not force range of motion or use Active Reset SmartCup™ to push through sharp or unexplained pain.
TOPIC 05
Between Runs
For regular runners, recovery is rarely about one isolated session. It is about keeping the week moving. SmartCup is designed to fit into a repeatable post-run routine without turning recovery into another long session.
RESEARCH SNAPSHOT
Evidence reviews have reported moderate evidence for improvements in soft-tissue flexibility, while evidence for broader musculoskeletal outcomes remains more limited.
22-study musculoskeletal evidence reviewHow to use Active Reset SmartCup™ for this
Identify the worked area
Choose an appropriate muscular area that still feels worked after running.
Use a controlled session
Start with comfortable suction according to the product instructions.
Move naturally afterward
Release the cup and return to comfortable normal movement or mobility work.
Safety: Do not force range of motion or use SmartCup™ to push through sharp pain or suspected injury.

THE RESEARCH BEHIND CUPPING
What Does The Research Actually Say
About Cupping?
Cupping has been studied in athletic populations for pain-related outcomes, mobility and recovery-related measures. Some trials have reported favourable findings, while the overall evidence remains mixed. The studies referenced here examine cupping therapy generally — not Active Reset SmartCup specifically and not running performance.
REDUCTION IN NECK & SHOULDER PAIN
One randomized trial reported average pain scores falling from 9.7 to 3.6 following cupping therapy.
60-person randomized controlled trial.
PMID 27073404
LOWER LOW-BACK PAIN
After four weeks, one randomized trial found adjusted pain scores approximately 38% lower with pulsatile cupping compared with a no-treatment control.
Randomized three-arm trial.
PMID 29609566
LOWER KNEE OA SYMPTOM SCORE
A randomized exploratory trial found overall knee osteoarthritis symptom scores approximately 34% lower after four weeks of pulsatile cupping compared with control.
40-person exploratory randomized trial.
PMID 23057611
Based on published randomized clinical studies of cupping therapy.
Percentages are calculated from reported trial outcomes and refer to the specific cupping protocols studied, not to Active Reset SmartCup™ itself. Different studies have produced mixed results, and individual outcomes vary.
A 2025 systematic review also included 72 trials and 5,720 participants examining cupping for pain-related outcomes. PMID 40151111
POST-RUN RECOVERY, MADE EASIER
Recovery Shouldn’t Feel Like Another Workout.
You already did the run. The last thing many runners want afterward is another routine that requires rolling around on the floor, repeatedly moving a massage gun or booking an appointment. SmartCup stays in place after you apply it. Place it. Set it. Let it work.
Your Level,
Your Session
Adjust suction gradually rather than automatically choosing maximum intensity.
Two Legs
At Once
Choose the 2-pack and use one SmartCup on each calf or quad during the same routine.
From Run
To Couch
Portable, rechargeable and simple enough to keep beside your running gear. No appointment required.
YOUR POST-RUN RESET
RESET IN 10.
A simple post-run ritual designed to fit around real life. Run. Shower. Sit down. Reset. Reset in 10 means a roughly 10-minute recovery ritual, not a promise of complete recovery in ten minutes.
STEP 1
Place It
Choose an appropriate muscular area that feels worked after your run — such as the calf or quad.
STEP 2
Set It
Start with a conservative suction level and adjust only to a comfortable setting.
STEP 3
Reset
Let SmartCup stay in place while you sit down, hydrate, watch TV, answer messages or simply unwind.
Follow the supplied usage instructions and maximum session duration. Stronger suction is not automatically better.
See the difference
Already Stretch? Already Roll? SmartCup Works Differently.
You do not have to throw away the recovery tools you already like. SmartCup simply gives you another mechanical option for the nights you want something more hands-off.

Control your session
12 Levels.
Different Muscles. Different Days.
Your calves after hills may not need the same setting as your quads after a long run. SmartCup™ gives you 12 adjustable levels so you can start conservatively and find a comfortable setting for the muscular area you're working on.
Gentle
A lighter starting point for first-time use or more sensitive areas.
Moderate
A stronger cupping sensation for regular recovery sessions.
Strong
Higher suction intensity for experienced users who tolerate stronger negative pressure.
Start low. More suction is not automatically better. Use the level that feels appropriate for you.
Adjustable warmth
12 Heat Levels.
Three Temperature Ranges.
Add adjustable warmth to your post-run cupping routine and choose the level according to your comfort.
Gentle Warmth
A mild warming range for a comfortable starting point.
Moderate Heat
A warmer setting for users who prefer a stronger heat sensation.
High Heat
The highest warming range for experienced users who tolerate greater heat.
Keep it comfortable. Reduce the setting or stop if the area feels excessively hot or uncomfortable.

Professional perspectives
A More Controlled Approach to Post-Run Recovery
“What I like about controlled cupping is the ability to start conservatively and adjust the intensity to the individual. For active people dealing with tight, overworked muscle areas, it can be a useful addition to a broader recovery routine.”
“The biggest advantage of a smart cupping tool is consistency. Instead of manual pumps and guesswork, users can control the suction and build a repeatable routine around the areas that need attention.”

Featured reviews
Recovery routines shared by customers.
★★★★★
Really useful after running
“My calves tend to feel very worked after longer runs. Active Reset SmartCup™ is simple enough that I actually use it instead of putting recovery off until later.”
★★★★★
Much easier than traditional cups
“I’ve tried manual cupping before and found it annoying to set up. This is much simpler. Place it, choose the level, and let it work. The warming function is a really nice addition.”
★★★★★
Strong suction without the guesswork
“I was surprised by how strong the suction gets. I normally stay around the middle settings and that is plenty for me. The controls are straightforward and the transparent cup makes placement easy.”
★★★★★
Perfect after leg day
“I mainly bought it for my quads after heavy lower-body sessions. The heat and suction together feel great and it’s much easier to use consistently than booking a massage.”
★★★★★
Now part of my evening routine
“I use it around the muscular area of my shoulders after long workdays. I really like being able to control the suction instead of having one fixed intensity. It’s become something I use regularly at home.”
★★★★★
Small enough to keep in my gym bag
“The size makes it really easy to take with me. I use it after training and sometimes the next morning if my legs still feel worked. USB-C charging is convenient too.”
More Reviews
★★★★★
Working great after long training days
“I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and it’s probably the recovery tool I use most often. The middle suction settings are strong enough for me and I like the warming function after harder sessions.”
Training Recovery★★★★★
Easy to set up and easy to use
“I expected it to be more complicated than it is. The controls took about a minute to figure out. I use it mainly on my quads and calves and it fits into my routine really easily.”
Simple Setup★★★★★
My calves feel much better after soccer
“I normally feel really tight through my calves after playing. I’ve been using Active Reset SmartCup™ when I get home and I like that I can start on a lower setting and work up gradually. It has become one of the first things I reach for after a match.”
Soccer Recovery★★★★★
The heat makes it feel more complete
“I had used basic cups before but this feels much more convenient. Being able to adjust the suction and add warmth makes the whole session feel more controlled.”
Heat + Suction★★★★★
Excellent little recovery tool
“Strong suction, easy controls, and very little setup. I mainly use it on my shoulders and legs and I’ve been impressed with how simple it is.”
At-Home Recovery★★★★★
Good for my post-soccer routine
“After soccer my legs usually feel heavy and tight. I like using this while I’m relaxing at home. I normally start low and increase the level depending on the area.”

Runner questions
Everything to know before your post-run reset.
Can runners use SmartCup after a run?
SmartCup can be used as part of a post-run wellness and recovery routine on appropriate muscular areas such as the calves or quads. Start conservatively and follow the supplied usage instructions.
Can I use SmartCup around my knees?
Use SmartCup on appropriate muscular tissue above or around the knee rather than directly on the kneecap, bony joint surfaces or irritated areas. Sharp, swollen, traumatic or persistent knee symptoms should be professionally assessed.
Can I use it on my ankles?
Avoid placing SmartCup directly over ankle bones, joints or areas where a safe muscular seal cannot be achieved. Use only on appropriate muscular tissue and follow the device instructions.
Why would a runner need two SmartCups?
Two units let runners use one on each calf or quad at the same time, reducing repositioning and making bilateral routines easier.
Is this better than foam rolling or a massage gun?
They work differently. Rollers and massage guns create compression or percussion, while SmartCup uses controlled negative pressure. Many customers use different recovery tools for different situations.
Will it leave marks?
Temporary redness or circular marks can occur with cupping and may vary from person to person. Begin with a lower setting, follow the instructions and avoid using the device on irritated, damaged or sensitive skin.
Is stronger suction better?
No. Stronger is not automatically better. Start conservatively and find a comfortable level.
