The Benefits Of Myofascial Cupping Therapy
Myofascial cupping is a form of trigger point therapy and myofascial release. This therapy combines massage and stretching techniques with the use of pressurized cups. Soft tissue is suctioned inside the cups, allowing for fluid movement and nutrient supply to the tissues.
How it Works – Myofascial cupping (silicone cups)
Sometimes a lubricant is applied on the skin, negative pressure is created by pushing the air out of silicone cups and applying them to the fascia, creating a seal. Suction draws fluids towards the surface of the skin, re-hydrating tissue and restoring its elastane properties.
Gentle lifting and movement of the cups in various directions separates tissue layers, breaking down scar tissue and adhesions. This allows more freedom of movement throughout the fascia, relieving tension and promoting flushing, draining, and healing.
History of Myofascial Cupping
Therapeutic cupping is an ancient form of treatment that has been used globally for thousands of years. In 18th century Europe, doctors practised cupping for colds, pneumonia, toxicity, inflammation, and as an aid to relieve pressure & pain. Historically, many types of materials have been used for cups, including clay, horn, bamboo, and glass. Glass cups are still commonly used, particularly in fire cupping. Silicone cups are another popular modern option, for their contouring properties, safety, and ease of use.
