Myofascial Cupping
“Where there’s stagnation, there will be pain. Remove the stagnation, and you remove the pain.”
old Chinese maxim
Myofascial Cupping is a complimentary therapy using cups as tools to help manipulate the soft tissues. Silicone cups are applied in a way that create negative pressure, lifting the superficial tissue into the cups as they glide on the skin. By focusing on your specific area(s) of concern, cupping may work to help alleviate pain and stiffness by increasing local blood flow (circulation), speed up recovery, increase Range of Motion (ROM), reduce inflammation and optimize your sense of wellbeing.
The addition of Myofascial Cupping to any massage may be beneficial for almost any longstanding issue: low back pain, injuries, postural issues, scar tissue and scar prevention, plantar fasciitis, ITB tightness, shin splints, tennis/golfers elbow and more.
This is an add on treatment and would pair nicely with a Deep Tissue Massage!
