Myofascial Cupping - F.A.Q
1. What is myofascial cupping therapy?
Myofascial Cupping is a physiotherapy technique that uses suction cups to gently lift the skin and underlying tissues, helping to release muscle tightness, improve blood circulation, and reduce pain.
2. How does cupping therapy work?
The suction created by cups pulls the skin and fascia upward, loosening adhesions, increasing blood flow, and promoting faster healing in the treated area.
