Cupping is a traditional Chinese treatments commonly used alongside acupuncture to treat fasciomusculoskeletal injuries and complaints (including sports related issues).
Cupping or ‘myofascial decompression’ can be thought of as a reverse massage. The tissues are sucked up into glass, plastic or silicone cups which are then either left in place or moved over the lubricated skin in a gliding motion which releases tension in muscle, fascia and connective tissue improving mobility.
Cupping also encourages blood flow and lymphatic drainage, works to release knots and trigger points and mobilises adhesions and scar tissue.
Traditionally, cupping is also used for lung issues such as asthma, bronchitis and cold & flu symptoms.
