Myofascial Cupping

What is Cupping?

​

Cupping is a therapeutic technique that involves placing specially designed cups on the skin to create suction. This suction lifts the skin and connective tissue which can improve blood flow, decrease tissue tension and promote relaxation. The cups can be made from glass, silicone, or bamboo, however at Langwarrin Osteopathy we use glass.
