What is Neuromuscular Cupping Therapy?

Got muscle pain? Feeling stuck? Let’s crack the code of how your body really works.

The Muscle Tag Team Most People Don’t Get

Muscle Movement 101:

• Muscles work in dynamic pairs
• One muscle contracts (the agonist)
• Its partner muscle relaxes (the antagonist)
• Then you have the helper muscles (the Synergists). These help support movement through different ranges of motion.

Real-World Example: Check out your upper arm. Bend your palm toward your shoulder.

• Biceps contract
• Triceps chill out
• Movement happens seamlessly

When the System Breaks Down

Warning Signs of Muscle Dysfunction:

• Unexpected pain
• Limited movement range
• Persistent tension

Trigger Points: Your Body’s Secret Pain Switches

What’s Really Happening:

• Trigger points are muscle’s hot zones
• Hypersensitive areas that cause:
  • Localized pain
  • Pain that spreads to other body parts
  • can alter how that muscle behaves and change the agonist/antagonist relationship

The Cupping Therapy Solution

How Suction Therapy Works:

• Creates negative pressure
• Lifts tissues instead of pushing
• Boosts blood circulation
• Releases muscle knots
• confuses the nervous system with something new while we get the muscle to move comfortably

Restoring Muscle Balance

The End Goal:

• Rebalance agonist-antagonist muscles
• Improve movement patterns
• Reduce pain
• Enhance overall physical function

At its core, neuromuscular cupping therapy uses special cups to create suction on the skin. This process targets deep tissue layers, promoting blood flow and releasing muscle tension. Unlike traditional massage, the pulling action works differently on your muscles and fascia.

The Science Behind the Suction

When I apply these cups to your skin, they create a vacuum effect. This action:

• Pulls tissue upward rather than pushing down
• Increases blood circulation to targeted areas
• Helps release muscle knots and adhesions
• Reduces inflammation and pain
