Therapeutic Cupping & Myofascial Release at Doyle Chiropractic

Restoring Mobility. Releasing Tension. Revitalizing Function.


At Doyle Chiropractic, we offer Therapeutic Cupping, also known as Myofascial Release or Connective Tissue Release, to relieve deep muscular tension, improve circulation, and enhance recovery.


This ancient technique has been modernized into a precise, evidence-based therapy that helps restore natural movement by releasing restrictions in the fascia — the connective tissue network that supports and stabilizes every muscle, joint, and organ in the body.

What Is Therapeutic Cupping?

Therapeutic cupping uses gentle suction applied through specialized cups to lift the skin and underlying tissues.


This decompressive effect separates layers of fascia, allowing fresh oxygenated blood to flow into tight or inflamed areas while promoting lymphatic drainage and tissue repair.


Unlike massage (which compresses tissue), cupping lifts and separates the fascia — helping the body break up adhesions, scar tissue, and muscular “knots” that limit motion and cause pain.

How It Works

  1. Decompression & Circulation – Cups create a gentle vacuum effect, drawing blood and nutrients into restricted tissues.
  2. Fascial Release – The lifting action frees up connective tissue, improving glide between muscles and fascia.
  3. Lymphatic Drainage – Stagnant fluids and metabolic waste are flushed away, reducing inflammation and swelling.
  4. Neurological Reset – The technique helps calm the nervous system and reset muscle tone, improving relaxation and coordination.

Sessions are typically relaxing and can be static (cups remain in place) or dynamic (cups glide over targeted regions for greater mobility benefits).

Benefits of Therapeutic Cupping / Myofascial Release

  • Relieves muscle tension and chronic stiffness
  • Reduces inflammation and promotes healing
  • Improves circulation and lymphatic drainage
  • Restores flexibility and range of motion
  • Enhances athletic recovery and performance
  • Breaks up scar tissue and fascial adhesions
  • Supports postural balance and structural correction
  • Calms the nervous system and reduces stress

Most patients feel lighter, looser, and more mobile after just one session, with lasting improvements when combined with chiropractic care and soft-tissue rehabilitation.

Why Fascia Matters

Fascia is a continuous web of connective tissue that wraps every muscle, tendon, ligament, and organ in your body.


When fascia becomes tight or stuck—due to injury, inflammation, or repetitive movement—it can restrict mobility and create tension far from the original source of pain.


Myofascial Release through cupping helps restore natural fascial glide and elasticity, allowing the body to move freely and pain-free again.

The Doyle Chiropractic Difference

At Doyle Chiropractic, our doctors and therapists integrate Therapeutic Cupping and Myofascial Release with other advanced modalities—such as laser therapy, shockwave, PEMF, and chiropractic adjustments—to address both the structural and cellular components of healing.


This holistic approach ensures your fascia, muscles, and joints work in harmony, improving recovery, posture, and long-term performance.

What to Expect During a Session

  • Cups may be placed on the back, neck, legs, or other target areas.
  • Gentle suction is applied—enough to lift, not bruise, the skin.
  • You may feel mild warmth, pulling, or a “stretch from within.”
  • Sessions last 10–20 minutes and leave you feeling relaxed and refreshed.

Occasionally, temporary circular marks may appear where cups were applied — these are not bruises but signs of increased circulation and release, usually fading within a few days.
