What is Myofascial Cupping?
One of the techniques I use is myofascial cupping, to help relax the nervous system. Benefits include relieving scar tissue, supporting detoxification, and increasing circulation to cupping sites. It can be shown to effectively treat arthritis and has benefits pre/post surgery.
Myofascial pain often occurs due to tightness/contraction of muscles and the thin tissues surrounding them, known as fascia. Tightness in specific areas can occur in the immediate area (localized) or other parts of the body (referred).
The pain may originate from specific points within your myofascial tissues called “trigger points.” Myofascial release focuses on reducing pain by easing the tension and tightness in the trigger points. Some people may find benefits in myofascial release therapy.
Here’s what one of my lovely clients had to say:
I had this done tonight Myofascial cupping added to my sports massage.. ( I should add this is not the one with heat/fire.. it’s is the suction method way less scary!
for anyone put off by have heat/burning sensation.)Being a hairstylist I do get tight, sore, aching lower back, shoulders and neck. Whenever I see vicky this really helps me out.. in between this I try to stretch and keep an eye on my posture during work hours but lots of them it’s hard to keep it at bay. A 6 weekly treatment for me does just the job, I feel much more supple and relaxed.. like a new woman!
The benefits include improving circulation to my problem areas which really helps reduce stiffness, muscle cramps and accelerates healing.
I highly recommended Wincanton Sports Massage based on West hill in Wincanton, if your looking to get this done. Give Vicky a shout. She’s super pro and knows her stuff.
Thank you for looking after me xx
