Myofascial cupping is an alternative therapy technique used to treat skeletal muscle immobility and pain. It involves using specialized cups that are placed on the skin to create suction. This suction helps to lift and separate the underlying connective tissue, called fascia, from the muscle tissue. This process helps to promote blood circulation, release muscle tension, alleviate pain, and improve the overall health of the fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles).

How Does Myofascial Cupping Work?

​

During a myofascial cupping session, we will carefully apply the cups to specific areas of your body, targeting areas of muscle tightness, trigger points, or areas of restriction in the fascia. The cups may be left in place for a few minutes or moved along the skin using a gliding or pumping technique. This helps to stretch and release the tissues, stimulate blood flow, and promote the breakdown of adhesions or scar tissue.
