Cupping Therapy is one of the best deep-tissue therapies, by using the “powers of suction” it is thought to affect tissues up to four inches deep. The cups create negative pressure above the surface of the tissues, this decrease in atmospheric pressure allowing the tissues to be lifted upwards increasing the space for the underlying structures. The suction from the cups quickly facilitates soft tissue release by pulling it up, it loosens areas of adhesions and restrictions, activates muscle spindle reflexes that relax contractile tissue allowing contracted congested tissue and fascia to loosen and soften. The most amazing affect of cupping therapy is the negative pressure from the suction of the cups pulls up stagnation and toxic debris which is stored in the tissues, this congestion is brought to the surface of the skin the pores expand and discharges toxins the process brings fresh revitalized nutrient rich blood into the area of stagnation and pain.
