What is cupping?

Cupping came to mainstream awareness mainly when everyone saw the round bruised on Michael Phelps at the 2016 Olympics. Of course, cupping as a treatment is much older than that (APTA).

Cupping is traditionally a form of alternative medicine. At Shift Physical Therapy in St. George, UT we use a different technique called myofascial decompression. This combines negative pressure technology with evidence-based movement science principles based in orthopedics and sports medicine.
