What is it?

Cupping is a therapy that uses a decompression force (like a vacuum suction) to decompress the soft tissues. When it lifts the dermal layer, it separates the fascia below, creating relief. Because fascia communicates so much with the brain, there is also a neurological response.

Benefits

  • Improves awareness
  • Improves control
  • Improves movement and range of motion
  • Relieves pain
  • Releases fascial adhesions
  • Remodels scar tissue
  • Improves circulation, blood flow, and lymph circulation

This diagram is shown with tape, but the same ideas apply to cupping.
