Myofacial Cupping
What is Myofascial Cupping?
It is a modified form of ancient Eastern style cupping. It specifically target's the musculo-Skeletal system by using plastic cups and vacuum to create suction. The vacuum draws the soft tissue into the cup, thus providing a force to the soft tissue/ fascia system. The vacuum lifts the soft tissue up, causing blood flow and oxygen to come into the area.
