Cupping therapy is a type of alternative medicine that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. The suction created by the cups pulls the skin and underlying tissues upward, which is believed to stimulate blood flow, loosen muscles and fascia, and promote healing. It's often used to treat pain, inflammation, and muscle tension, as well as to improve circulation and promote relaxation.
Myofascial cupping is a type of cupping therapy that focuses on the myofascial system, which is the network of connective tissues that surround and support the muscles and other structures in the body. Myofascial cupping involves using suction cups to release tension and tightness in the myofascial tissues.
During a myofascial cupping session, a therapist will place suction cups on the skin and use a hand pump to create suction. The cups are left in place for a period of time, typically a few minutes, and then moved to another area. The therapist may also use manual massage techniques in combination with cupping to further release tension and improve circulation.
Myofascial cupping is often used to treat conditions such as muscle pain, stiffness, and restricted range of motion. By creating suction, myofascial cupping can help to improve circulation to the affected area, reduce inflammation, and release tension in the myofascial tissues. It is often used in conjunction with other therapies, such as massage and stretching, to provide a comprehensive approach to addressing myofascial issues.
Recalibration Massage offers Myofascial Cupping as an add-on to a 75 or 90 minute session, or as a stand-alone treatment.
