Myofascial Cupping
Myofascial cupping is a soft tissue therapy involving the application of cups on the skin that creates a vacuum effect lifting the underlying tissue and muscles.
By using massage and cupping techniques areas of muscular and tissue restriction are identified. These painful points are called trigger points.
Myofascial release focuses on reducing the pain and easing the tightness of trigger points. When the muscle and surrounding tissue is stiff, this can result in restriction of movements.
By doing myofascial cupping on affected muscle and tissue, range of motion and mobility is improved by directly reducing fascial adhesions.
Myofascial cupping softens muscle tissue and helps to relieve muscle knots which results in looser feeling, more flexible muscles.
