Have you ever tried myofascial cupping?
Myofascial cupping uses plastic, silicone, or glass cups to create a gentle suction on your skin, pulling up essential fluids and revitalizing the underlying tissues.
It is often incorporated into other manual therapy techniques such as massage therapy, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy.
Using massage techniques, your practitioner locates tension or congestion and apply cups to an affected area. The cups can be glided over the skin or placed on a fascial adhesion or trigger point for a short time to reduce or eliminate it.
Myofascial cupping can help alleviate soft tissue issues, reduce musculoskeletal tension, tackle sporting injuries, and promote deep relaxation by activating the parasympathetic nervous system.
