Cupping therapy induces myofascial release by creating suction to a compromised musculoskeletal tissue, promoting blood flow to the damaged area to increase the body’s own self-healing process.
Cupping creates a tight pressurized seal around the myofascial area, restricting blood flow to the area for roughly 2-3 minutes. As the cup is removed and pressure is released, the restricted blood is rushed back to the myofascial area to aid in healing.
