Our bodies work through allot of stress throughout the day and therefor we will tight and tender when things start to crumble. We may find when this happens, changes to our posture and poor habits begin to show causing a decline in our musculoskeletal health. One of the biggest causes can be desk work or poor sleeping habits which may irritate both the neck and lower back areas.
About Cupping
Cupping can be used for various musculoskeletal injuries or issues that may arise. This treatment modality works best on large areas meaning its great for people suffering with upper back pain or low back pain. Its also great for joint inflammation, areas of overuse and of course tight muscles. These can include conditions such as pelvic pain, buttock pain, leg pain (hamstrings or quadraceps), neck pain and shoulder pain.
What is Myofascial Cupping?
Myofascial Cupping is a remedial massage technique that gently lifts the muscle tissue using suction cups to help the fascia return to an ideal position whilst increasing blood circulation and the bodies’ ability to absorb nutrients within the area the cups are applied to, thus speeding up repair of the area and its surrounding tissues.
