There are two forms of Myofascial cupping ‘wet’ and ‘dry’. I practice dry cupping which involves applying a plastic cup to the skin and drawing the air out of the cup with a hand held pump (see picture left). On the market you can also purchase glass cups where you use a flame to burn the air out of the cup and cause a vacuum. Personally I prefer the hand held vacuum pump for its speed of application and control at how much pressure I need to achieve with accuracy.
