What is Myofascial Cupping?

Myofascial cupping is a therapeutic technique designed to address the health and mobility of the fascia, the connective tissue that envelops muscles, nerves, and organs. By using specialised cups to create suction, this therapy works to mobilise fascia, reduce adhesions, and restore balance to areas of dysfunction.

How Myofascial Cupping Mobilises Fascia

The fascia plays a pivotal role in supporting our movements and overall health. However, stress, injury, or repetitive motions can lead to restrictions and stiffness within the fascial layers. Cupping applies targeted suction to lift and stretch the fascia, promoting enhanced circulation and relieving tension. This process helps the fascia regain its elasticity and facilitates smoother, more functional movement.

Reducing Fascial Adhesions to Superficial Nerves

Adhesions in the fascia—where tissues become stuck—can limit mobility and cause discomfort, especially in areas close to superficial nerves. Myofascial cupping gently separates and loosens these adhesions, reducing pressure on the nerves and alleviating discomfort. This process encourages better nerve glide and minimises sensations of tightness or tingling caused by fascial restrictions.

The Benefits of Functional Cupping for Restricted Movement

Functional cupping takes traditional cupping therapy a step further by incorporating movement into the treatment. While the cups remain applied, patients engage in specific stretches or exercises designed to target areas of restriction. By integrating motion with cupping, this technique optimises the therapy’s effects, helping to address distinct movement patterns that may be impaired due to stiffness or fascial dysfunction. Functional cupping is particularly effective for improving mobility in athletes, individuals recovering from injuries, or anyone experiencing limited range of motion.
