Myofascial Cupping

Myofascial Cupping is an ancient practice which is thought to stimulate healing. It involves small plastic cups, commonly placed on the back, neck, shoulders, and other body areas which are a site of pain or dysfunction. The air is vacuumed out of the cup, creating a change in air pressure. The practitioner glides the cups over the selected area to increase blood flow and reduce muscular tension. The cups can be left in place for 2- 5 minutes.

IASTM (Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization)

IASTM is a method of using tools to reduce scar tissue, adhesions, and increase blood flow to the injured area. Lotion is applied to the area to allow the tools to glide across the skin freely. Firm pressure is applied as the tool glides across the tissue in a scraping fashion. IASTM can help reduce pain, reduce muscle tightness, improve range of motion, and help speed up the recovery process following a soft tissue injury.
