What Can You Treat with CUPPING?
At MovEvolution, we use cupping therapy in 2 ways to help you heal, move, and evolve:
- We rely on cupping therapy as a diagnostic tool. We look and feel what is going on between your tissue “layers”. Does the skin glide and lift well? Does your skin return quickly to its original color or is it slow, or delayed pointing to poor or stagnant circulation.
- We use cupping therapy as a treatment tool, to get that lift and glide of tissue layers, improving blood flow between those layers with greater ease. Overall, we are helping to decrease circulatory stagnation and increase tissue mobility.

So, Does DRY NEEDLING Hurt?
This is the most common question. The actual inserting of the needle does not hurt. These needles are very thin. Sometimes the muscle will twitch when inserted, and it can then feel sore. You will usually feel a little muscle ache or soreness for a day or two after that feels like you’ve worked out that muscle. This is all very common.
When comparing pain levels of dry needling to an intramuscular injection (i.e., flu shot, vaccination), the pain is far less, even nonexistent to some, with dry needling.

Here are a few of my favorite fallacious foam rolling myths that totally frustrate my inner sanctum! Read Foam Rolling Myth Busters HERE.
