Tight shoulders? Limited movement?
Cupping therapy helps release deep muscle tension and improve mobility.
๐Cupping therapy with active movement
(dynamic or myofascial decompression)
Involves applying suction cups to the skin while the client performs functional movements, stretches, or exercises. This technique increases local blood circulation, releases fascial restrictions, improves range of motion, and reduces muscle tension by forcing soft tissue layers to glide against each other.
๐ Key Aspects of Active Cupping
โจ๏ธTechnique: Cups are applied to a restricted area, and the client performs specific movements (e.g., reaching, squatting, bending) for 5โ10 repetitions.
โจ๏ธTarget Areas: Commonly used on the back, shoulders, hips, and limbs to treat pain, muscle strains, and chronic stiffness.
โจ๏ธBenefits: This method is more effective than static cupping for restoring mobility, as it works the entire muscle through a range of motion, promoting improved neuromuscular activation.
โจ๏ธTreatment Goals: It serves to reorganize soft tissues, increase flexibility, and reduce pain.
