Watch this video: Cupping with Spinal Wave Exercise
You ever wonder about those circles you see on peoples’ skin?
Cupping, or more specifically termed, “Cup Therapy” and “Myofascial Decompression” (MFD). This modality has been widely misunderstood because there are many ways of using cups. Cupping is a modality just like another tool used in the soft tissue/active recovery space. however with the efforts of Dr. Chris Daprato (founder of Cuptherapy.com)
This method is within our RESET division of our 3R methodology.
Specifically, you’re seeing our client using an exercise, called SPINAL WAVE, to move each segment of the spine towards full flexion and extension.
This exercise used in conjunction with the cupping is helping create better mobility of the spine and also improving spinal awareness.
If you think of movement from a practical sense, every movement you train requires baseline awareness of where your spine is in space!
CUPPING BENEFITS
