Myofascial Dry Cupping
Myofascial Cupping involves creating a suction with plastic cups and a hand held vacuum pump which lifts the skin and can separate the layers of muscle lying underneath. In doing so, blood flow to the area is increased initiating the healing process and increasing the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the area.
This treatment can be used to ease muscle tension and improve flexibilty, reduce swelling and remove stagnant blood from the application area.
However, be aware that they will leave you with a hickey like appearance that may be red/purple/blue and can last anywhere between 1 -14 days.

Please note - this is not suitable for pregnancies that have been deemed medically high risk e.g. history of quick births, high blood pressure, pre-eclampsia and more (if you are unsure, speak to your doctor or midwife before booking).
