Trigger point release. In this video I'm going to demonstrate the trigger point release. cupping creates negative pressure assumption over trigger points, which breaks up the adhesions painlessly and without the discomfort of static pressure. trigger point cupping for the rotator cuff muscles is very effective and releasing stubborn knots that are hidden deep underneath the shoulder blades. So to access these muscles, gently place the client's arm behind their back and then place the cup over the rhomboids and medial scapular border. then reposition the arm off the side of the table.

I'm performing cupping over trigger points. Lightly lift and rotate the cup in a circular fashion for approximately 10 to 30 seconds. Release the cup and reapply until the trigger point pain has decreased and the muscle tension has softened. Then move on to a new area and repeat the process. If you want, you can multitask and work another area for 30 seconds while the cup is doing its lifting magic. That's the beauty of puppets.
