Myofascial Cupping
Description
If you ever just want MORE CUPPING, then this one is for you. I generally use some cups in treatments when indicated to treat specific issues, but if you just want all the cups, all the time, then this is the treatment for you. No extra cost. Cups can be used both deeply therapeutically, and for relaxation and lymphatic drainage purposes. Myofascial cupping adds the benefits of increasing O2 and nutrient delivery to injured/tight tissues to facilitate faster healing. Buckle-up for a more wordy explanation... It works to decrease tension in muscle fibers and connective tissue (fascia) by decreasing central nervous system activity with deep negative (vacuum) pressure to separate tissue layers, generating a relaxing stretch response, while stimulating circulation. Cups have the added benefit of releasing metabolic wastes that are trapped in inflamed tissues. This occurs when the vacuum pressure of the cups lifts areas of compromised tissue to allow for efficient drainage of wastes back into your circulatory system. This does not happen as easily with compression of tissues, as in traditional manual massage.
