Myofascial Cupping is a modified version of the ancient Eastern style Cupping.
It differs by specifically targeting the Musculo-Skeletal system rather than the meridian systems used by traditional Chinese practitioners.
Myofascial Cupping uses plastic cups and vacuum suction. A hand operated vacuum pump is used to induce a vacuum inside a cylinder sealed to the skin by the use of emollient. The vacuum “draws” the soft tissue perpendicular to the skin thus providing a tensile force to the soft tissue system, which can be left in one site for a prolonged period or moved along the tissue.
