Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy—also known as myofascial decompression—is a soft tissue technique that uses suction to lift and separate the underlying tissues. This negative pressure effect increases blood flow, reduces muscle tension, and promotes tissue healing.

At Elevate, we use cupping over areas of tightness or restriction to improve elasticity, reduce pain, and stimulate recovery. It's especially effective for targeting small, hard-to-reach tissues—like those between the vertebrae—that traditional massage often misses.

While cupping can leave temporary circular marks, the treatment itself is typically comfortable, relaxing, and even enjoyable. It helps calm the nervous system, encouraging a “rest and digest” state that supports recovery and makes your body more receptive to adjustments and movement-based therapy.

Whether you're dealing with chronic tightness, post-workout soreness, or general tension, cupping is a powerful addition to your treatment plan.
