Myofascial Cupping
What is cupping?
Myofascial cupping is a soft-tissue therapy that involves the utilisation of small glass suction cups to the skin. The benefit of this type of therapy includes relieving pain and stiffness, promoting increased blood and lymphatic circulation, relieving swelling and decreasing tissue congestion.
Once the suction cups are removed from your skin, there may be dark circular marks on your skin which look like bruises. This occurs as the cups draw fluid to the area, which may last up to 1 week.
