Scrapping is a form of friction massage that helps to increase blood flow, range of motion (ROM), and maintaining healthy elastic responsive muscle tissue. This is a technique used safely for hundreds of years with proven effectiveness when used correctly as is currently applied within the MAD Approach.
In dry needling, needles are used to defuse local muscular pain and improve muscular function by enabling muscles to regain their ability to lengthen and shorten. The needle is usually inserted into a myofascial trigger point, stimulating blood circulation in designated areas.
Dry Cupping increases blood flow in the area where the cups are placed. This may relieve muscle tension and stiffness, which can also improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair. Moreover, the Dry Cupping technique can help form new connective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue.
