Cupping at The Manx Myotherapist.

Myotherapy is a type of manual therapy that focuses on assessing, treating, and rehabilitating musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. It involves the use of various techniques such as massage, stretching, dry needling, joint mobilisation, and trigger point therapy to relieve muscle tension, improve mobility, and reduce pain. The Manx Myo, Tom often works with clients who have chronic pain conditions, sports injuries, postural imbalances, and other musculoskeletal issues.

Cupping, on the other hand, is a therapy that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. Traditionally, cups were made of glass or bamboo, but modern cupping often utilises silicone or plastic cups. The suction created by the cups helps to increase blood flow, loosen tight muscles and changes the state of the fascia below the skin.

Cupping can be used for pain relief, improving circulation & promoting relaxation. At The Manx Myotherapist, Tom is trained in a modern evidence based approach - Functional release cupping which combines modern research on fascia and can have dramatic changes in range of motion and the patients pain. 

During treatment at The Manx Myotherapist, Tom can incorporate cupping into your treatment sessions if you wish. This additional technique to target specific areas of muscle tension & pain can be highly beneficial. Please ask about it at your next session.
