Myofascial dry cupping is a soft tissue therapy dating back thousands of years in ancient China.
The suction within the individual cups draws blood, fluids and underlying tissues to the skins surface, allowing fresh nutrient rich blood to come into the location. The suction also stretches the skin and fascia to improve mobility and flexibility.
Myofascial dry cupping is a great technique to use on areas of the body where applying pressure with a modality like massage would be too painful. If you are in chronic pain dry cupping is a great option to improve your symptoms without causing unnecessary pain. When integrated with other techniques such as trigger point therapy, soft tissue release and dry needle therapy clients can gain significant improvements in pain relief and improved flexibility.
During Myofascial dry cupping it is normal for the skin to become purple and appear bruised after treatment. It is important to avoid taking hot baths or showers immediately after treatment. Cupping marks can take up to 21 days to completely disappear however most people will see massive reduction of the marks in the first 7 days after treatment and most are completely gone within 10 days.
