Myofascial Cupping
Myofascial cupping is a therapeutic technique used by physiotherapists to treat musculoskeletal pain, tension, and injury. It involves placing specialized cups on the skin to create suction, which helps release muscle tightness, improve blood flow, and promote healing. The cups are typically made of glass, silicone, or plastic, and the suction can be generated manually or with a mechanical pump.
This technique is commonly used to treat conditions such as muscle strains, chronic pain, restricted movement, and fascia-related issues.
Myofascial Cupping benefits include assistance to muscular pain and spasms, released trigger points, stretch facia and muscle tissue, promotion of fluid movement and decreased scar tissue.

How Myofascial Cupping Helps in Physiotherapy
Enhances Blood Flow
The suction draws blood to the surface, increasing circulation in the targeted areas, which supports tissue repair and reduces pain.
Relieves Muscle Tension
By lifting the skin and fascia, cupping helps to release tight muscles, easing spasms and improving flexibility.
Promotes Lymphatic Drainage
The increased circulation helps to remove toxins and reduce inflammation, facilitating faster recovery.
Improves Mobility and Range of Motion
Cupping helps to break down fascial adhesions, improving joint and muscle mobility for better functional movement.
Aids in Injury Recovery
By improving blood circulation and oxygenation, cupping accelerates tissue repair and speeds up recovery time for injuries.
Non-Invasive Treatment
Myofascial cupping is a gentle, non-invasive therapy, making it an ideal alternative for patients who may not tolerate other treatments like deep tissue massage.
Complementary to Other Therapies
Cupping works well alongside other physiotherapy treatments such as manual therapy, exercise, and dry needling, offering a holistic approach to patient care.
