Myofascial Decompression (MFD) Cupping Therapy

Myofascial Decompression otherwise known as Cupping Therapy, is a form of soft tissue work where a pneumatic pump is used, along with plastic vacuum cups and placed on the skin to release the fascia and muscle tissue underneath with the ultimate goal of pain relief with an increase soft tissue mobility ie muscle, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. Myofascial Decompression works in the decompression of adhesions; reducing inhibitions of fluids and nutrient exchange. It is effective in decreasing stiffness and pain, improving tissue health and increasing mobility. Myofascial Decompression can be useful in the treatment of chronic overuse injuries such as bursitis, tendonitis, tendonosis, and other myofascial pain syndromes in low back, mid back, neck pain, elbow pain, shoulder pain, and virtually any area of the body where compressed soft tissues is the source of pain. Cupping has been used in many traditional cultures for thousands of years, including ancient Chinese medicine, early Egyptians, Native Americans, and others.
