Myofascial Cupping is a modified version of the ancient Eastern style Cupping. It differs by specifically targeting the Musculoskeletal system rather than the meridian systems used by traditional Chinese practitioners. It also uses plastic cups and vacuum suction to create suction.
A hand-operated vacuum pump is used to induce a vacuum inside a cylinder sealed to the skin by the use of oil or cream. The vacuum “draws” the soft tissue perpendicular to the skin thus providing a tensile force to the soft tissue system, which can be left in one site for a prolonged period or moved along the tissue.
