Myofascial Cupping is a modified form of the traditional Eastern Cupping technique. It varies from traditional Chinese medicine in that it focuses on the musculoskeletal system rather than the meridian systems. It also creates suction with plastic cups and vacuum suction rather than glass cups and a naked flame. To create a vacuum inside a cylinder, a hand-operated vacuum pump is employed.

The vacuum “draws” the soft tissue perpendicular to the skin, creating a tensile tension in the soft tissue system, which can be left in place for a long time or shifted along the tissue.
