Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine that uses suction cups to create negative pressure on the skin (we like to call it local decompression).  This technique, which has roots in ancient Egypt and China, is believed to promote blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and alleviate pain.  Cups, traditionally made of glass, bamboo, or silicone are placed on the skin then a vacuum is created inside the cup.  This vacuum can be created through heat (fire cupping), manual pumping (air), or electrical pumps drawing the skin and superficial tissue upwards into the cup.  Cups are typically left in place for a short period of time, usually 5-15 minutes.  Cups can also be moved around on the skin, often with oil or lotion, for a massage-like effect.  Possible side effects can include bruising at the site of the cup, skin irritation, and to a much less extent fatigue, headaches, or nausea may be experienced.

• Lymphatic/Glymphatic MOJO - Working on the most powerful and neglected system in chronic pain, sports performance, and recovery.

• Nerve MOJO - Focuses on helping restore optimal nerve slide/glide, blood flow, and lymph flow for the primary nerves in the body that cause chronic pain.  When nerves don't move well or have adequate fluid flow, pain shows up.  Most people don't even know they have underlying nerve issues because they haven't experienced pain yet.  Or if they have pain, they are only focusing on nerves at the site of the pain and overlooking nerve pathways and snag points.  Don't make the mistake of focusing on one spot

• Vagus MOJO - The first principle of effective healing is your nervous system must be calmed down.  The Vagus Nerve does that.  If it is working well and has the right tone.  If it doesn't, you will remain in sympathetic nervous system dominance and struggle to heal. You cannot heal when you are defending.  Cells are either in growth mode or defense mode.  They cannot be in both at the same time.  The Vagus nerve is the healing mode switch.  The Vagus nerve is the most important nerve in the body.  If that works well, all the other nerves can work better.

• Blood Flow MOJO - Tight tissues do not accept blood flow well.  Poor blood flow means poor oxygen delivery/nutrients into a cell and poor waste removal away from an injury and out of the body.   This causes chronic pain, inflammation, disease, and poor recovery/performance.

• Gut/Visceral MOJO - Again the Vagus nerve for optimal gut function.  How you can balance stomach acid for better digestion.  Ways to enhance your lymphatic system to support healing.

• Breathing MOJO - If youre not breathing well nothing works for long.  You take an average of 20.000 breaths a day.  It's a good idea to do it an optimal way including how the diaphragm and breathing influence healing and all the other systems in the body.  Breathing is the #1 way to influence your autonomic nervous system's fight or flight stress response.  Reducing fight or flight must happen for healing to happen.  Dysfunctional breathing patterns from stress (fight or flight mode) feed the body’s environment for inflammation, causing chronic pain.  Chronic pain impacts your daily life, making it difficult to enjoy the simplest activities, work, and even your ability to relax.  Breathing can help manage pain and improve your quality of life.

• Tongue MOJO - Because it doesn't hurt, the tongue is so neglected.  People rarely complain of tongue pain, yet they feel pain everywhere else.  Don't let the absence of tongue pain fool you.  The tongue plays a fundamental role in whole-body function.  Pain only tells you there is a problem.  It does not tell you what or where it is.   Really cool things about your tongue: The tongue fascia connects to the sternocleidomastoid muscle and the musculature acting on the thoracic outlet. (That means neck pain, and poor lymph and blood flow may result in tongue tightness).  The tongue also connects to the foot via fascia (Deep Front Line).  The tongue is considered a pressure diaphragm that controls breathing, fluid motion, and postural stability.  Tongue position influences the whole body by influencing the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.  One position activates the parasympathetics more.  That is the stress response!  Lower limb strength is linked to tongue position.  The tongue has a massive sensory and motor representation in the brain which means it can significantly impact pain and movement.  Following are symptoms/conditions that may improve by working the tongue:  headaches, neck pain, jaw pain/TMJ, facial pain, shoulder pain, tingling in the arms and hands, back pain, coordination, posture and balance, and foot pain.

• Eye MOJO - The eyes are a direct extension of your brain. They grow directly off of the brain.  Think about that.  What does that mean?  Eyes have the greatest impact on the overall function of your brain.  70% of the brain is devoted to processing vision.  That's quite big. Your eyes have muscles too.  Each eye has 6 muscles calls extraocular muscles. They move the eye.  And just like any other muscle in your body, they need exercising and training.  Just using them is not enough.  Training them helps your other muscles work more efficiently.  Eyes go.  Head goes.  Body goes.  You see something.  Turn your head to focus on it.  Then your body moves towards or away from it.  Eyes drive the body.  Looking up excites extension (bending backward). Looking down excites flexion (bending forward). Looking left and right excites rotation (twisting). This is how the eye may cause pain in the muscles that cause these actions. Your eye nerve (optic nerve) drains lymphatics and cerebrospinal fluid.  That's a big deal when it comes to brain health.  

  Possible symptoms of poor eye function:  poor balance, headaches/migraines, neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, tinnitus, tiredness/fatigue, TMJ pain, anxiety (fight or flight), sympathetic dominance, poor posture, and more.

What is Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy delivers specific red and near-infrared wavelengths of laser light to induce a therapeutic effect within the body. These include increased circulation, decreased swelling, reduction of pain, and enhanced tissue repair. Laser therapy has been used in Europe since the 1970s and was cleared by the United States Food and Drug Administration in 2002.

Therapeutic Effects
The painless application of laser energy promotes increased circulation by drawing oxygen and nutrients to the affected area. This creates an optimal healing environment reducing inflammation, swelling, muscle spasm, stiffness, and pain. As the injured area returns to normal, pain is relieved, and function is restored.

Does It Hurt? What Does a Treatment Feel Like?
There is little or no sensation during treatment. Occasionally one feels a mild, soothing warmth or tingling sensation. Areas of pain or inflammation may be briefly sensitive before pain reduction.

Are There Any Side Effects or Associated Risks?
During more than twenty years of use by healthcare providers all over the world, very few side effects have ever been reported. Occasionally, some old injuries or pain syndromes may feel aggravated for a few days, as the healing response is more active after treatment.

How many treatments does it take? 
This depends on the nature of the condition being treated. For some acute conditions, 4 to 6 treatments may be sufficient. Those of a more chronic nature may require 10 to 12 (or more) treatments. Conditions such as severe arthritis may require ongoing periodic care to control pain.

How long before the results are felt? 
You may feel improvement in your condition (usually pain reduction) after the very first treatment. Sometimes you will not feel improvement after several treatments. This does not mean that the condition is not improving. Each treatment is cumulative, and results are often felt after 3 or 4 sessions.

Conditions Laser Therapy Can Help With:
High-power laser therapy can stimulate all cell types, including soft tissue, ligaments, cartilage, and nerves. Some conditions that have been shown to respond well to laser therapy include:

• Peripheral Neuropathy, Fibromyalgia
• Back and Neck Pain
• Sciatic Pain
• Arthritis pain, Degenerative Discs/Joints
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Knee Problems
• Tendinitis, Trigger Fingers
• Bunion Pains, Plantar Fasciitis
• Sprains and/or Strains
• Bruises, Contusions, Burns
• Headaches, TMJ, Sinus Trouble
• Athletic Injuries
• Work-Related and Auto Injuries

Anatomy Trains Structure and Function basic certified.

The "Sausage Link" Analogy
In traditional anatomy, we are taught that the body has over 600 separate muscles. Anatomy Trains suggests that it’s more accurate to think of these muscles as being linked together like a long string of sausages. These "strings" are called myofascial meridians. If you pull on one end of the string (like your foot), the tension travels all the way up to the other end (like your neck).

The "Fascial Suit"
Imagine you are wearing a thin, tight-fitting spiderweb suit underneath your skin. This "suit" is your fascia—a continuous web of connective tissue that wraps around every muscle, bone, and organ.
How it works: When you move, this suit should glide smoothly.
The problem: If you have an injury or chronic posture issue (like the stress of driving a truck), certain parts of the suit get "glued" together or become brittle.
The result: A "snag" in the suit at your hip might actually be the reason you feel a "tug" or pain in your shoulder.

"Where It Is, It Ain't"
This is a famous phrase in the Anatomy Trains world. It means that where you feel the pain is often not where the problem started. * If you have lower back pain, a traditional therapist might only massage your lower back. An Anatomy Trains practitioner looks at the whole "line." They might find that the root cause is actually tight calves or a restricted rib cage that is forcing your lower back to overwork and compensate.

The Goal of the Technique
The goal isn't just to "relax" a muscle for an hour. It is to unwind the snags in your fascial suit to restore balance to the whole system. By treating these long lines of connection, we aim to:
- Improve your alignment so gravity doesn't feel so heavy on your joints.
- Create movement efficiency, so you use less energy to do daily tasks.
- Resolve long-standing compensations that localized treatments have failed to fix.
