Myofascial Cupping Therapy

Service Description

Myofascial cupping uses gentle suction to help release tight areas in the muscles and fascia. By lifting the tissues slightly, it can reduce tension, improve how the layers move and make stiff or restricted areas feel more comfortable. During treatment, soft cups are placed on areas that need attention and may be kept in place or moved smoothly over the skin. Most people feel a light pulling sensation that is relieving rather than painful. Benefits Myofascial cupping can help with • easing tight or restricted muscles • reducing stiffness from posture or training • relieving areas that feel sore or “stuck” • supporting smoother, easier movement • enhancing the effects of sports massage therapy Marks After Treatment Myofascial cupping almost always leaves circular marks on the skin. These are a normal response to suction and are not painful. Most marks fade within 3–7 days, but some may remain visible for up to 10–14 days, depending on the area and level of tension. If you prefer lighter marks or want to avoid marks in visible areas, simply let the therapist know so the pressure or placement can be adjusted. How It Fits Into Your Treatment At Keep Moving Therapy, myofascial cupping is not a standalone treatment. It can be included within Sports Massage Therapy on request or when appropriate, with no additional cost. If you would like it added to your session, simply let the therapist know.
