Cupping

The correct clinical sequence is to test for limitations, reason anatomically about implicated musculature, apply cupping to those regions, then load the corrective movement pattern while tissues are responsive. Cupping is not universally used in this clinical framework but can produce meaningful results when applied to the correct targets for left AIC pattern presentations. Cupping is specifically indicated as an adjunct when the left diaphragm is restricted and resistant to positional change.
