Benefits of Mypfascial Cupping:
Cupping pulls blood to a region to stimulate healing. It is effective at stretching tight fascia & muscles. Cupping helps the tissue develop new blood flow & stimulates the healing process. Adhesions are a big reason why most people tend to come in for cupping. Adhesions occur between the layers of the tissues in the body and can restrict range of motion in the joints and in some cases cause pain and discomfort. Adhesions can be caused by a large range of things, such as poor posture, trauma, under activity, surgery, dehydrations and stress. Dry Cupping helps aid soft tissue injuries, reduce pain or discomfort by:-Muscle Pain & Tension, reduced Joint movement, headaches, back Pain & sciatica and stress & anxiety.
Relaxes the nervous system: Like massage, Myofascial Cupping lowers the activation of the Sympathetic Nervous System. Bringing your body out of a “fight or flight” mode and into a “rest and digest” state. Calming this nervous system helps to allow the body to prioritize healing.
Relieves scar tissue: In areas of past trauma there are increased numbers of adhesions and can be restrictions with movement. Using cupping to address the adhesions of the area can reduce pain and increase the range of motion of the affected part of the body.
Supports detoxification: Your skin is a natural detoxifier, using perspiration to remove toxins from the body. Cupping can help accentuate this process. Pulling toxins and bad metabolites from the derma and helping purge them from the body.
Increases circulation: Cupping instigates a local release of histamine, which works to increase the blood flow to the area and accelerate the healing process.
Treats arthritis: While cupping cannot reverse the effects of arthritis, it is very helpful in relieving the aches and pains associated with this condition. The increased blood flow and encouraged movement of the fluids can help soothe discomfort and deliver relief to those that need it.
Pre/post surgery(scar tissue): Cupping the area of the to be incision can improve the health of the area. Helping the tissue to be as healthy and functional as possible before the trauma of the surgery. And after surgery, once the incision has healed, working with the scar tissue to reduce adhesions and increase functionality and range of motion.
Massage warm up: When doing Deep Tissue Massage we always work superficial to deep. Addressing the muscles closer to the surface before working deeper into the body.
