Soft Tissue Therapy (Cupping & Graston)

Soft tissue therapy is designed to target tight muscles, scar tissue, and fascial restrictions that can cause pain, limit mobility, and reduce performance. Two effective methods we offer are cupping and Graston technique, both of which help restore movement and speed up recovery.

Cupping Therapy uses suction cups placed on the skin to increase blood flow, release tension, and promote healing in deeper tissues. It can leave temporary marks on the skin (a sign of circulation changes), but most people find it deeply relaxing and effective for muscle tightness and chronic pain.

Graston Technique is a form of Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) that uses stainless steel tools to gently break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. It’s commonly used for repetitive strain injuries, tight muscles, and areas that feel “stuck” or inflamed.

Both treatments are safe, non-invasive, and complement chiropractic care by helping your body heal faster, move better, and feel more balanced. Whether you're an athlete, a weekend warrior, or just dealing with everyday aches and pains, soft tissue therapy can be a powerful tool in your recovery and wellness plan.

Some benefits of Cupping Therapy include:

  1. Pain Relief: Cupping therapy is often used to alleviate muscle tension and reduce pain, particularly in areas of the body prone to tightness or stiffness.

  2. Improved Circulation: The suction created by the cups can help stimulate blood flow to the treated area, promoting oxygen and nutrient delivery to the tissues and aiding in the removal of toxins.

  3. Relaxation and Stress Reduction: Many people find cupping therapy to be relaxing, similar to a deep tissue massage. It can help reduce stress and promote a sense of well-being.

  4. Detoxification: Some proponents of cupping therapy believe that it can help remove toxins from the body by increasing circulation and lymphatic drainage.

  5. Enhanced Recovery: Athletes and active individuals often use cupping therapy as part of their recovery routine to help reduce muscle soreness and improve recovery time between workouts.
