Being an ancient Chinese practice, cupping has been performed since ages.
Myofascial cupping is a modern twist on ancient cupping techniques. It is a form of myofascial release.   Cupping has increased in popularity and is used as an
integrative therapy in modern medicine.
Myofascial Cupping is often incorporated into other manual therapy techniques such as massage therapy, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and other
injury rehabilitation techniques.


A cup is applied to the skin and pressure is reduced by suctioning air out.
With myofascial cupping the cup can be moved while the suction of the skin is active, causing a regional pulling of the skin, muscle and fascia.
As this happens the skin and superficial muscle layer is drawn into the cup and held there. Cupping is used for myofascial release.
 By reducing fascial adhesions, while encouraging optimal hydration levels of soft tissue,
Myofascial Cupping can assist in reducing the incidence of injury and maintaining functional soft tissue.

 The benefits are: 
   
Reduction in fascial adhesions       
An increase in nutrient rich blood supply and heat to the area being treated       
Increased fluid movement to the tissue assisting in recovery       
Decrease in scar tissue       
Reduction in muscle trigger points       
Reduction in muscle firing causing muscle RELAXATION       
Decrease in nervous system firing causing FULL BODY  RELAXATION       
Relief of pain!
