A brief history...

Myofascial Cupping has roots dating back to ancient civilizations, where healers used hollowed-out animal horns or bamboo cups to alleviate pain and promote healing. Over time, cupping therapy spread across various cultures, including traditional Chinese medicine and ancient Egyptian medicine. It wasn't until the 20th century that Myofascial Cupping gained popularity in the Western world, thanks to advancements in modern medicine and research into its therapeutic benefits. Today, Myofascial Cupping is widely practiced as a complementary therapy, with practitioners utilizing both traditional techniques and modern variations to address a variety of musculoskeletal issues.

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) has its origins in the field of manual therapy, where practitioners used tools made of bone, stone, or metal to manipulate soft tissues and promote healing. The use of instruments for soft tissue mobilization can be traced back to ancient Greek and Roman times, where scraping techniques were employed to treat injuries and promote recovery. In the modern era, IASTM gained popularity in the rehabilitation and sports medicine fields, with advancements in technology leading to the development of specialized instruments designed for therapeutic use. Today, IASTM is widely recognized as an effective treatment for addressing soft tissue dysfunction and promoting tissue healing.
