Using a vacuum like technique, cupping is a very effective therapy for releasing muscle and fascia tension/adhesion, pain, and soreness. It helps clear blockages, as well as, improve circulation and mobility.

The human anatomy has an impressive capacity to store material within the layers of tissue.  These stored, or tangled, materials can disrupt the harmonious balance within the soft or connective tissue affecting structural integrity.  Cupping, much like your household vacuum, works to draw out such materials.  The primary physiological responses are as follows: negative pressure, enhanced fluid exchange, and vasodilation. 

•  DRAW OUT INTERSTITIAL DEBRIS:  Interstitial debris is any material that the body could not dispose of on it own, such as: Old Blood Deposits from injury/surgery, Cellular or Metabolic Waste, Medications, Toxins or Foreign Objects.
• ALLEVIATE ADHESION'S:  Adhesion's are any two anatomical surfaces (i.e. muscles, fascia/connective tissue, soft tissue) that grow or stick together.  Adhesion's can restrict mobility and interfere with systemic activities.
• ENCOURAGES CIRCULATION:  Cupping stimulates overall circulation . . . even down to the capillary level.
• HELPS CLEAR CONGESTION AND STAGNATION: Anything that is stagnant, in an otherwise healthy internal environment, predominately leads to dysfunction and disease.  Cups help clear stagnation from skin, muscles, bones, joints, organs and energies.
• LIFT, RE-HYDRATE, AND MANIPULATE FASCIA: Fascia is a form of connective tissue that envelops all muscle tissues, is interwoven throughout all structures of anatomy, and contributes to maintaining structural integrity of the entire human body.  Cupping forces hydration to pass through these fluid-rich structures improving pliability to what otherwise may have been dehydrated and therefore adhered structures.
• ENCOURAGE NEOVASCULARIZATION:  Neovascularization is the process by which new blood vessels form from already existing healthy vessels, bringing a fresh supply of nutrients and oxygen to previously deficient tissues.
