Myofascial decompression

Cupping therapy is an alternative treatment that involves placing special cups on the skin to create a vacuum or suction effect. This suction helps to increase blood flow, relieve muscle tension, and promote the healing of soft tissues. Cupping can be performed using glass, silicone, or plastic cups, and the treatment may involve moving the cups along the skin (known as "massage cupping") or leaving them stationary for a period of time. It is commonly used to treat conditions like muscle pain, stiffness, inflammation, and poor circulation. Cupping is also believed to help with detoxification and relaxation.
