Cupping

You may have seen many athletes with cups all over their backs, but did you know it can also help release the feet and legs?

Cupping is a non-invasive technique that decreases muscular tightness and restriction via the increase of blood flow to the affected area. Cupping works by the practitioner placing a cup on the skin and creating suction for the cup to stay on. This suction increases the blood flow and decompresses the soft tissue tightness underneath.
Cupping is a great alternative for those who need trigger point therapy, but find they don't respond well to dry needling, or have a phobia of needles. Cupping also helps with releasing tight muscles on the feet and works best in conjunction with light soft tissue therapy following treatment.

Cupping is most effective for:

• Releasing muscular tightness

• Increasing range of motion

• Arch, foot, and lower limb pain
