from a personal experience with my patients Myofascial decompression is a Very effective modality. The more the therapist is knowledgeable in anatomy, physiology and pathology the more effective is the therapeutic outcomes. Another important point: Variety of factors determined the skin discoloration after cupping ie. capillaries and skin structure, lymphatic drainage, age, medical conditions, diet, life style, melanin/pigmentation etc. only blood test can tell the true composition of the blood.

Cupping *should never* "hurt." Feel tight, tickle and itch are ok but never painful.

I tried “HIJAMA” (Islamic cupping) which goes one step further by making a dozen small scratches/cuts and causes blood to flow. This stimulates stem cell production and deployment to the site of the injured tissue, and hence promoting robust healing of the area. Such cupping was also common in ancient Egypt, not only in China. It’s origin is exactly unknown. It helped me with chronic back pain.

People often do not consider those who are mobility challenged or disabled. For me, cupping is necessary when massage doesnt work. I cant take baths or do other common solutions due do my numerous physical obstacles. It can hurt quite a lot as the cup is initially engaged and pulling in the bunched up fascia. Its entirely dependent on how bad it is and how long the patient is willing to wait. When i am having acute horrific pain, i can slide my hands along the skin and feel the bunched up fascia as variety sizes of bumps and after the cupping, these bumps are reduced quite a bit or disappear entirely. So i disagree that it shouldn’t hurt. It can absolutely hurt depending on your conditions and I choose to push through, because as the cup remains, the pain slowly lessens, and eventually disappears, and my mobility level improves drastically in that area. I am only speaking for me. My conditions are severe and daily and prevent a lot of movements and abilities others take for granted. I would highly recommend massage therapists check it out as an additional tool in their arsenal. Seek out a myriad of resources and beware of folks who paint information with broad strokes or adamant statements that are supposed to apply to everyone. As far as those considering having it done. Do the same. Research multiple resources. Even better if you have someone you trust who has had it done with successful results. Find a massage therapist you click with that hears you and start with massages first. That may be just fine for your situation. As far as the cutting of skin, i can imagine that blood could get stagnant from being caught in bunched up fascia (i imagine fascia as a sticky bubble gum webbing that surrounds the muscles and nerves) tho Ive never had it done and or needed to have it done and would not want to risk infection especially in areas I cannot reach or see. As far as addressing nerves, the only experience ive had is where it felt like there was a nerve caught up in the bunching. Imagine a hair within bubblegum. Cupping pulls the bubblegum ie the hair, it hurts. A nerve being trapped is excruciating and expecting the cupping process to be painless makes no sense to me. It can be. It can make other areas near, sore, because those areas are being stretched in the process. In my experience when the soreness subsides usually a couple of days, the difference is dramatic and has lasted far more than a week, literally months, and if Im able to have it done bi monthly it never returns to the severity it once was, which is huge for me. Take care

Thank you for this video, I’m looking into become a cupping therapist and this video definitely help me understand more I’m going to definitely be looking at more of your videos you Explain it nicely, enjoyed the video I can’t wait to get started! learn more and more.

What some people think is called cupping? It is cupping. You don't have to rename an Eastern technique for it to become valid. Cupping has always worked...it doesn't only work now that you've renamed it.

One session and I've had better circulation and movement in my right shoulder that got damaged from a series of seizures. Before I couldn't tie my work apron or pull a shirt off.
