Myofascial cupping (otherwise just known as “cupping”) is an ancient Chinese form of treatment. A glass, plastic, or bamboo cup is applied to the skin, then the pressure inside the cup is reduced in order to draw and hold the skin and superficial muscle tissue inside the cup.
The cupping process draws blood from the vessels and into the sore tissue. Essentially, cupping triggers a positive inflammatory response to heal the area.
In our myofascial cupping course, you will learn the western perspective of how cupping works on muscle and help increase range of movement.
You will also be able to introduce this technique to your remedial massage skills and provide a more in-depth experience for your clients.
