Myofascial Cupping

What is Myofascial Cupping?

Myofascial cupping is a therapeutic technique that uses suction cups to lift and decompress the skin and underlying fascia. This helps to release restrictions in the connective tissue, improve blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and enhance mobility. It is often used alongside other soft tissue therapies to support recovery and relieve pain.

Sports Injuries-Useful in managing strains, sprains, and overuse injuries, cupping aids in reducing inflammation, promoting healing, and speeding up recovery after training or competition.

Postural Imbalances-Poor posture can lead to muscle imbalances and fascial restrictions. Cupping helps release tight areas and restore balance, improving overall alignment.

Chronic Pain Conditions-Conditions like lower back pain, neck pain, and fibromyalgia may benefit from myofascial cupping by reducing soft tissue tension and improving circulation to painful areas.

What are the FAQ's

Does cupping hurt? Most people find it relaxing, but you may feel a pulling or tight sensation. Some discomfort can occur if the tissues are particularly tight, but pressure can always be adjuste
Will I get marks or bruises? Yes, it’s common to get circular marks from the suction. These are not bruises but a result of increased blood flow to the area. They usually fade within a few days.
How long do the marks last? Cupping marks typically last between 2 to 7 days, depending on the individual’s skin type, hydration, and the intensity of the treatment.
