Dynamic Cupping,
Cupping with a Myofascial Approach
Myofascial cupping massage is not your ordinary massage. This massage involves a healing combination of invigorating massage strokes and negative pressure, which work together to elevate, separate, and stretch those underlying soft tissues that need relief!
The therapeutic benefits that come with myofascial cupping are truly remarkable! Those who are struggling with muscle spasms, chronic back problems and pain, acute and chronic muscle tension, migraines, neck pain, and even depression have found solace in this technique.

Myofascial Cupping?
​
My practice uses silicone cups for myofascial cupping, which involves finding areas of muscular restriction and tension through massage techniques. Moving the cups over the skin or leaving them on specific areas briefly helps reduce fascial adhesions and trigger points, even without extended use. Myofascial cupping stimulates inhibitory neural pathways and alters pain thresholds, which increases blood circulation and tissue temperature helping to relieve chronic pain and reduce muscle tension from stress.
What About Those Cupping Marks?
​
Have you seen purplish circles on athletes during cupping? Myofascial cupping minimizes traditional cupping marks. However, in areas with high stagnation, there may be markings. These marks are painless and indicate the level of stagnation and toxin accumulation, with darker colors representing more stagnation.
​
If you're wondering, what's all the fuss about? Let me tell you, the benefits of myofascial cupping are endless! It promotes better circulation, increases joint mobility, releases muscle tensions, and enhances lymphatic drainage for localized detoxification. And to top it off, it even improves connective tissue mobility, so you can go about your day feeling less restricted, both physically and emotionally!
Myofascial cupping isn't just a treatment, it's an experience! One that will leave you feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to take on the day!
