Myofascial Cupping

Cupping Therapy is one of the oldest forms of medical treatment available. Originating in Eastern China, this method of treatment is chosen to relieve pain and tension in the body using the application and suction pressure of plastic or glass cups.

Myofascial cupping treatment uses a combination of massage strokes and negative pressure to lift, separate, and stretch underlying soft tissues. Cupping is typically applied on the neck, shoulders, back, thigh, calves, and upper arms.

Patients can often feel a light pinching sensation under the cups, followed by a negative or ‘lifting’ sensation around the area being treated. Following treatment patients often feel much lighter and more relaxed.

Conditions that can be treated:

• Muscle spasms and pain
• Chronic back problems and pain
• Acute and Chronic muscle tension
• Headaches, including reducing the frequency and intensity of migraines
• Neck pain
• Mood, depression
