Myofascial Cupping

Release Tension, Restore Movement

Gentle suction therapy that frees up tight fascia, improves circulation, and eases stubborn muscle pain.

What Is Myofascial Cupping?

Myofascial cupping uses soft silicone or glass cups to create gentle suction that lifts the skin, fascia, and muscle underneath instead of pressing down on it.

At Back In Motion Wellness, Lori Roy combines cupping with hands on massage and Myofascial Point Stimulation (MPS) to release fascial restrictions, increase blood flow, and help tight tissue move freely again.

Myofascial Cupping FAQs

Most people find it comfortable and describe the sensation as a gentle pull rather than pressure. Lori adjusts the suction and pace to your comfort throughout the session.

Circular marks are common where suction is held in one place. They are not bruises from impact, they fade within a few days, and gliding techniques usually leave much lighter marks.

Traditional massage compresses tissue. Cupping lifts and decompresses it, which can reach fascial layers that are hard to release with pressure alone. Most sessions combine both.

It is often used for back, neck, and shoulder tension, IT band and hamstring tightness, plantar fascia pain, postural strain, and general muscle soreness or restricted movement.

That depends on how long the tension has been there and what you want to get back to. Many people notice a change after one session, and Lori will map out a plan after your assessment.

Light activity is usually fine. Lori will let you know what to avoid for the first day so the tissue has a chance to settle.

Yes. Lori provides self-care strategies and stretches that help hold the gains between appointments.
