What Is Cupping Therapy?

Updated: May 7, 2021


Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts plastic cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction.


The Myofascial Cupping Technique (MCT) provides profound benefits particularly with assisting the body in maintaining range of motion, eliminating Myofascial Trigger Points, and reducing restrictive and sometimes painful fascial adhesions commonly found from repetitive movement originating from sports and the workplace.

By encouraging optimal hydration levels of soft tissue, moving lymphatic fluid and flushing new blood into the tissues which have stopped moving due to build up of stress, MCT can assist in reducing the incidence of injury and /or pain and maintaining functional soft tissue.


MCT is also great for scar tissue after surgery after the healing process is complete which can be 3-6 months post surgery. It has successfully been used on burns victims to decrease rigidity of the fascia and therefore increase movement.


Having recently attended a Myofascial Cupping seminar, I am receiving positive feedback from clients and getting great results. Lots of clients like to combine cupping within their massage treatment.


Book today to experience all this technique can provide for yourself!
