Gentle negative pressure cupping that lifts and separates deep connective tissue to release tension, ease pain, and restore natural mobility.
Sometimes, muscles and fascia (the connective tissue surrounding them) become tight, restricted, or stuck together, leading to pain, stiffness, or reduced mobility. Myofascial cupping is a gentle, effective therapy that uses suction to lift and separate soft tissue, improving circulation and relieving restrictions. At Alara Women’s Health, our physiotherapists and massage therapists use myofascial cupping as part of a holistic approach to care, helping women move more freely, reduce pain, and feel more at ease in their bodies.
What is Myofascial Cupping?
Unlike traditional cupping, which often leaves strong marks on the skin, myofascial cupping focuses on using negative pressure to gently lift tissue. This:
-
- Brings nutrient-rich blood supply to the area
- Provides a passive stretch to underlying soft tissues
- Helps release fascial adhesions that may be causing pain or limiting movement
It’s a safe and non-invasive technique that can be used alone or in combination with massage, physiotherapy, or dry needling.
Benefits of Myofascial Cupping
Myofascial cupping can assist with:
-
- Improving and maintaining range of motion
- Reducing restrictive or painful fascial adhesions
- Easing myofascial trigger points (“knots”)
- Promoting optimal hydration of soft tissues
- Supporting lymphatic drainage and swelling reduction
- Decreasing risk of injury through healthier, more mobile tissues
- Enhancing recovery after exercise or injury
