Watch Chris Phillips, Principal of the Cotswold Academy & Myofascial Cupping Tutor, demonstrate how to use Myofascial Cupping to improve range of movement and relieve stiffness and tension in the shoulders.
There is an incredibly intimate relationship between the Deltoid & Trapezius. These two muscle groups share the bony attachments of the clavicle, acromion and spine of the scapula, therefore if either become tightened or reactive to postural dysfunction (rounded shoulders) one or both of them will react. This creates pain in localised areas, or referred pain up into the neck and head or down the arm.
We wanted to demonstrate how Myofascial Cupping tackles this head on whilst relieving the therapists hands and thumbs in releasing this tension.
Cupping is at it's most useful when we embed it into our treatments combining muscle lengthening techniques (MET), triggerpoint therapy and our every day intuitive hand skills. It can stand alone, alongside holistic massage techniques or including our sports massage techniques in response to postural assessment.
