Overview of cupping technique using electric vaccum pump on the back and neck.

Cupping the feet can be helpful for those suffering from Plantar Fasciitis, fatigue and calf pain. I start with warming up the skin by manually massaging and then "popping" the cup off the skin. Next I drag the cup along small areas pulling the skin and fascia to release tension. Fascia can be described as one large stocking that covers your entire body. When one area is bound up it will pull from multiple areas. Release of tension from the feet can greatly impact the ease of movement of the entire body.

Illustrating the cupping massage technique to the scapula area. This technique helps lift the fascia from the muscle, increasing blood flow to the area and ultimately aiding in the relaxation of the muscle.

We're illustrating a cupping procedure using a traditional vacuum cup on the neck and upper back area. Cupping marks are caused by suction and works to bring toxins to the surface. The procedure helps break up scar tissue adhesions to improve range of motion.
