Myofascial Cupping

 

What is Myofascial Decompression Cupping?  

Myofascial Decompression Cupping is a modality that uses "Cups" (glass, bamboo, or silicone) to create a vacuum like pull up on the skin, fascia and superficial muscle layers.   This pressure aids in releasing adhesions that are present, softens scar tissue, relaxes muscle spasms, decreases trigger point pain and increases local circulation.  The cups can be left in place for a period of time or a lubricant can be put on the skin so that the therapist may glide them around the area being worked.  Cupping is a free add-on to any session when needed.
