Evolve Physical Therapy + Advance Wellness is happy to offer Myofascial Decompression, otherwise known as cupping, as part of a collaborative treatment approach for our clients.  

What is Cupping (MFD)?
Cupping (MFD) is a form of instrument-assisted negative pressure soft tissue mobilization.  This technique is utilized to help manipulate the skin and fascial tissue to assist in the treatment of movement disorders.  The cups use suction to lift up the fascia, creating space between the skin, deep fascia, and the muscle.  This can assist with drainage of toxins, and allow for the muscle to have more room to move without restrictions.
