Dynamic Cupping

Muscle tension. Soreness. Sports injuries. Limited mobility. Chronic tightness. If you’re actively looking for ways to get through your day without these discomforts, your body deserves real relief, not just a quick fix.

Discover how an ancient therapy meets innovative, modern therapeutic care at MYo Lab Health & Wellness. Our team of experienced practitioners offers Dynamic Cupping, a targeted technique designed to improve circulation, release muscle tension, and support your active lifestyle. 

You don’t have to be an athlete to experience the benefits of cupping. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, training hard, or just need relief from daily stress, dynamic cupping can help you relax, move, and feel better.

Dynamic cupping essentially uses negative pressure (suction) to lift blood from deep tissue to the surface layers of the skin. Instead of glass cups and heat, it uses medical-grade silicone cups and massage oil to create the suction. The cups are then gently glided across the skin (unlike static cupping, where they stay in one spot). Multiple cups are strategically placed on the body by your Chiropractor or Massage Therapist and left for a few minutes at a time. The skin is basically “pulled” into the cup, which causes the skin to redden as blood vessels expand and fluid fills the area that has been suctioned.

Here’s what’s happening under the surface:

• The suction pulls the skin and fascia upward
• This boosts circulation and gets fluid moving
• Tension is released, without the intense pressure of deep tissue massage

The technique is typically painless, deeply relaxing, and tends to leave little to no marks compared to the traditional, static method.

“This new facility is simply top notch, I was very impressed on my first visit! The staff here is also very friendly and helpful with appointments and using my insurance. Evan also happens to be the best chiro I’ve seen for my sports related injuries. Only good things to say about MYo Lab!”

“Dr Evan Schwindt is amazing! He has helped me recover from a very serious MVA all while handling the paperwork, claims submission and coordination of benefits. So professional and incredibly caring! He has been my chiro for years and I wouldn’t go to anyone else!!”

Penny P.

“I have been loving my experiences at MYo Lab!
I’ve been doing chiro and acupuncture. Would recommend!”

Alicia W.

“I had my chiropractic treatments from Dr. Evan Schwindt and as I have had long time chronic pain on my shoulder and hip joints, it was due to my incorrect posture. After treatments, I could recognize my problem and realize how I could improve my mobility and strength. Thanks Dr. Evan, strongly recommend him!”

The two main players (or culprits) in deep tissue soreness and stiffness are lactic acid build-up and restricted fascia. Cupping addresses both.

But its benefits go beyond muscle relief:

• Boosts circulation and blood flow
• Supports lymphatic drainage
• Releases fascial adhesions and muscle tension
• Promotes a healthy inflammatory response
• Enhances skin nourishment
• Calms the nervous system
• Clears stagnation and congestion

Maybe you’re an athlete, desk-bound, or somewhere in between; in all of these conditions, cupping can help reduce everyday stiffness and improve your body’s natural mobility and healing response.

At MYo Lab, you’re not just getting cupping; you’re getting evidence-based, integrative care. Here’s what sets us apart:

• 600+ 5-star reviews on Google

Our approach isn’t just about relieving tension—it’s about helping you feel your best long-term.

Your session will typically last 10  to 90 minutes, depending on your needs and whether it’s built into your chiropractic or massage therapy session. 

We start by prepping the tissue with a massage to increase blood flow. Silicone cups are then used to create suction. We finish with a hands-on massage to flush the area and encourage full-body integration. 

While traditional cupping often leaves deep circular marks, dynamic cupping usually leaves little to no discolouration. However, it’s normal to see some redness, especially if it’s your first time. These marks typically fade within a few days.

Most people find cupping to be relaxing. You might feel some pressure or mild discomfort in areas with restricted circulation, but it shouldn’t be painful.
