What is Myofascial Cupping Therapy? Last year I did some training on how and when to use suction cups to help stimulate change in the tissues to aid function. So far results with clients using this tool has been positive. Below gives some information about the benefits and effects of myofascial cupping, it is generally used along with other massage techniques during a treatment.
Using polycarbonate plastic cups, a vacuum is created to lift the tissue
Encourages blood to tight and restrictive connective tissue which can aid muscle relaxation
Creates mechanical change within the tissues creating
improved glide and function
Helps activate the immune system to reduce inflammation
Stimulates neurological responses in the tissues which can contribute to reduction in pain
Cups can be static whilst you do an active movement or resist against a pressure or can be moved over affected area combining massage and cupping together to achieve myofascial release.
Can be used on most areas especially on symptoms associated with:
Frozen Shoulder, Elbow Problems, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Knee Problems, IT Band Restrictions, Plantar Fascitis Lower Back Pain, Neck and Shoulder Tension, Stress Relief
