What is Myofascial Dry Cupping?
Myofascial dry cupping, a type of cupping therapy rooted in ancient healing practices of Chinese medicine, has been utilised for thousands of years. This holistic therapy involves the strategic use of specially designed cups to create a vacuum effect on the skin.
Through this process, the cups gently lift the underlying tissue, promoting blood circulation and releasing fascial restrictions. Though cupping is an ancient practice, its effectiveness in stimulating the body's natural healing response remains unparalleled.
How Does Myofascial Dry Cupping Work?
During a myofascial dry cupping session at Walking On Clouds, our therapists strategically place cups on specific areas of your body, targeting muscle groups, joints, or areas of tension. As the cups are applied, they utilise suction to draw air inside, creating a vacuum effect.
This suction draws the skin and superficial muscle layer upwards inside the cup, stimulating blood vessels to draw blood to the surface. This process encourages increased blood flow to the area, promoting oxygenation and nutrient delivery while effectively removing toxins and waste products.
Additionally, at Walking On Clouds, we enhance the effectiveness of cupping therapy by incorporating vacuum massage techniques. Combined with hands-on soft tissue release, passive joint mobilizations, and muscle stretches, our approach ensures comprehensive relief and relaxation during your session.
The Benefits of Myofascial Dry Cupping
-
Myofascial dry cupping can effectively alleviate muscle tightness and discomfort. By improving blood flow, it helps to reduce inflammation and promote the release of tension, providing natural pain relief.
-
Tight fascia and restricted muscles can limit your mobility. Through myofascial dry cupping, the fascial restrictions are released, allowing for increased flexibility and improved range of motion.
-
The therapeutic nature of myofascial dry cupping not only addresses physical discomfort but also promotes deep relaxation and stress reduction. The gentle suction and release of the cups create a soothing sensation, inducing a state of tranquillity and calm.
-
Athletes and individuals recovering from injuries can greatly benefit from myofascial dry cupping. The increased blood circulation stimulates the healing process, reduces swelling, and accelerates recovery, helping you get back to peak performance faster.
-
By improving circulation and releasing tension, myofascial dry cupping invigorates the body and boosts energy levels. Experience renewed vitality and a greater sense of well-being.

What can I expect after my treatment?
At the end of your treatment, you may see some bruising or marks left on the skin, however you can rest assured that this is completely normal and is nothing to worry about. This is because the blood has been drawn to the surface of the skin. This will take a couple of days to a week to disappear, but if you have sensitive skin, this could take a little longer.
We do not recommend taking a very hot bath or shower after our treatments, due to the bruising, where the blood has been brought to the surface of the skin. If you do experience any minor soreness after the treatment, we recommend using an ice or cold compress.
Don't let muscle tension, pain, or limited mobility hold you back from living your best life. Experience the rejuvenating effects of myofascial dry cupping and unlock your body's potential for healing and vitality.
