A manual modality that is the only one decompressive in nature; think opposite of foam rolling and all other forms of self myofascial release. It utilizes negative pressure on soft tissue and muscles to improve tissue gliding and mobility.
How does it differ from traditional cupping?
Cupping is an ancient eastern medicine treatment that has been around for 1000s of years as a passive modality to treat a wide variety of issues. Myofascial Decompression (MFD) also utilizes negative pressure cups, but focuses on active movement and neuromuscular re-education during the treatment to decrease pain and improve movement competency.
