Myofascial Decompression Therapy (MFD)

We are proud to now offer Myofascial Decompression Therapy (MFD). Similar to Cupping, Myofascial Decompression uses decompressors (cups) to create negative pressure along with movement therapy to achieve fascial mobility and functional re-training. While traditional cupping is a passive modality, MFD focuses on active movement patterns and includes neuro re-education.

What does MFD do?

  • MFD is the only modality that is decompressive in nature. The negative pressure forces allow for increases in space in the musculoskeletal system for improved tissue gliding and mobility.
  • Myofascial Decompression addresses connective tissue restrictions by improving the mobility of the soft tissue layers. The use of negative pressure with suction cups creates space between the soft tissue layers that allows each layer to slide one upon another with decreased viscosity and improved movement efficiency.

  • Sessions are approximately 15-35 minutes in length and should be spaced out between 4-7 days. The number of sessions will vary depending on how each person responds. For most acute injuries, 2-5 treatments are recommended and for chronic issues, about 1-4 treatments.
  • To get scheduled, simply stop at the front desk or contact Nelson or Jeremy directly.
