General Cupping Techniques

Static Cupping

Static cupping is when the FasciaBuddy cup is applied to a single point on the body and then left for up to 3 minutes, or longer, if instructed by your integrative healthcare practitioner. This is the most common method of cupping.

Moving or Massage Cupping

You can easily use your FasciaBuddy cups to massage tissues by first applying massage oil to the skin and then carefully gliding the cups across the surface of the body.

Myofascial Release Cupping

Apply your Fascia Buddy cup to lubricated skin with strong to moderate suction. Very slowly drag the cup in one direction to lift and separate the layers of fascia. This allows for body fluids to circulate into separated fascia to promote rejuvenation.

Flash Cupping

Flash cupping is a technique used to apply suction to the skin in short intervals or ‘flashes’. Apply your Fascia Buddy cup to the skin for approximately 5 seconds  before releasing the pressure and removing the cup. Repeat the application and removal of the cup multiple times as indicated by your integrative health practitioner.
