Cupping: Dynamic & Myofascial

DYNAMIC CUPPING

Dynamic cupping is a type of massage therapy that uses silicone or plastic cups to create suction on the skin and underlying tissues, and then moves the cups around the body to create a massage-like effect. The cups are placed on the skin and then suction is created by either using a hand pump or by heating the air inside the cup. The therapist then moves the cups around the body, using a variety of techniques such as gliding, shaking, and tapping, to create a dynamic and rhythmic massage.

Dynamic cupping is often used to treat conditions such as muscle pain, stiffness, and soreness, as well as to improve range of motion and flexibility. It can also be used to reduce the appearance of cellulite and improve skin tone and texture. The therapy is generally safe and non-invasive, but it may cause some temporary bruising or redness on the skin. It is important to consult with a qualified therapist before undergoing dynamic cupping to ensure that it is appropriate for your individual needs and health status.

MYOFASCIAL CUPPING

Myofascial cupping is a technique that involves using suction cups to create a negative pressure on the skin and underlying tissues. This technique is used to release tension and tightness in the muscles and fascia, which are the connective tissues that surround and support the muscles.

During a myofascial cupping session, the therapist will place the cups on the skin and create a vacuum by either using a hand pump or heating the air inside the cup. The cups are left in place for several minutes, and the therapist may move them around to target specific areas of tension.

The suction created by the cups helps to increase blood flow to the area, which can help to reduce inflammation and promote healing. It also helps to stretch and release the fascia, which can improve range of motion and reduce pain.

Myofascial cupping is often used in conjunction with other manual therapy techniques, such as massage or stretching, to help improve overall muscle function and reduce pain and stiffness. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as back pain, neck pain, and sports injuries.
