What You Need To Know About Cupping
Cupping therapy, also known as myofascial decompression therapy, is a treatment that involves the application of suction cups to the skin. These cups are placed over areas of tension and create a negative pressure vacuum, which helps to lift and separate the underlying tissues, improving blood flow to the tissue and reducing pain.
Cupping Increases Blood Circulation to the Area Where the Cups Are Placed
This may relieve muscle tension, which can improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair. It may also help form new connective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue.

While the Marks That Sometimes Follow Cupping May Appear Painful,
the treatment is actually quite enjoyable and relaxing
Like other massage modalities, cupping soothes the nervous system, creating a parasympathetic “rest and digest” response. Inducing deep relaxation makes for a more effective, gentle and comfortable spinal adjustment. Cupping also quickly relaxes muscles and connective tissue when applied in between vertebrae. These tiny tissues are not always easily accessible by traditional massage therapy techniques making cupping a great addition to any treatment.
