Your recovery just got an upgrade.
Infrared cupping combines decompression with gentle heat to help ease stiffness and improve mobility in overworked hammies.
A 2020 study in the International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy found that a single session of myofascial decompression (a form of cupping) produced similar immediate gains in hamstring flexibility as self myofascial release, with athletes reporting a greater perceived benefit from cupping.
And while that research used traditional cups (not infrared), we use both traditional and infrared cupping at Resolve, layered strategically into a comprehensive, evidence based treatment plan. 👇🏼
We often pair infrared cupping with adjustments, myofascial release, active rehab, and other research supported treatments to help you move better, recover faster, and stay performing at a high level.
