Cupping Myofascial Therapy

Release restriction • Restore movement • Reduce pain

Traditionally known as Bu Huo Guan

Cupping Myofascial Therapy is a specialised treatment designed to ease tissue restriction, improve mobility, and support pain relief. Using non-invasive suction cups combined with targeted massage techniques, this therapy works deeply into the myofascial system to encourage release, circulation, and recovery.

What Is Cupping Myofascial Therapy?

Cupping therapy uses suction cups placed on the skin to gently lift and separate underlying tissues. This is followed by gliding massage along muscles and trigger points, helping to release tension and improve tissue elasticity.

Cupping can be applied in different ways:

• Passive cupping (cups placed and left in position)
• Active cupping (combined with movement)
• Assisted cupping (integrated with hands-on massage techniques)

Benefits of Cupping Therapy

• Reduces Pain: Encourages the release of natural pain-relieving neurotransmitters (such as enkephalins).
• Improves Circulation: Creates localised vasodilation to enhance blood flow.
• Increases Lymphatic Drainage: Supports detoxification and reduces congestion.
• Enhances Mobility: Helps restore movement and flexibility.
• Releases Tissue Restriction: Reduces stiffness and improves the viscoelasticity of fascia.
• Neurological Benefits: Desensitises irritable nerves and supports pain control.

Suitable for athletes and non-athletes alike, this treatment is ideal for those experiencing muscle tightness, restricted movement, or persistent discomfort.

What to Expect

• Suction cups are applied to create gentle decompression of the tissues.
• You may experience warmth, pulling, or pressure, but the treatment should remain comfortable.
• Temporary circular marks may appear and usually fade within a few days.
• This treatment is performed unclothed, with professional draping used at all times for comfort and privacy.
