Functional Release Cupping combines modern research on fascia, functional movement patterns, the application of myofascial cupping, and the concept of whole body fascial and myofascial linkages to make dramatic changes in range of motion, functional capacity and pain

 

This innovative approach involves applying a cupping device to create suction on the skin, which helps to increase blood flow and oxygenation to the affected area. We then integrate dynamic, functional movement to affect a positive change in movement restrictions. 

 

This dynamic approach to cupping is highly individualised to the patient’s own movement deficits and through its holistic approach, not only improves range of motion, but also reduces the risk of injury both locally and distally along fascial lines. You will see measurable increases in range of motion and function immediately after application. 

​

With Functional Release Cupping, patients can experience decreased pain and improved range of motion, making it an effective treatment option for a wide range of conditions. If you're looking for a safe and non-invasive way to address muscle pain and discomfort, Functional Release Cupping may be the answer you've been searching for.

Benefits:

• Restores healthy, functional movement

• Reduces areas of restriction and associated pain

• Improves motor pathway recruitment to facilitate tissue release and improve overall movement and function

• Provides input to the nervous system

• Positively impacts dysfunction, restriction and pain

• Reduces restrictive fasciae adhesions

• Helps to maintain range of motion in joints.

Cupping therapy is known to leave marks the shape of the cup on the skin. Contrary to popular belief, these are not bruises and do not hurt. They can last on the skin from 1 to 10 days.
