RESEARCH
We have partnered with the University of California, San Francisco Department of Radiology for research collaborations to produce innovative cutting-edge assessments using Myofascial Decompression techniques. This is the first 3T MR image ever taken of a decompressor on the body during intervention!

2020 Study: Acute Outcomes of myofascial decompression compared to self myofascial release on hamstring pathology after single treatment
The purpose of this investigation was to examine the acute effects on hamstring flexibility and patient-rated outcome mea- sures comparing two soft tissue treatments, 1) MFD, and 2) a moist heat pack with SMR using a foam roller in patients with diagnosed hamstring pathology.
Myofascial Decompression (MFD) evolved out of addressing sports and orthopedic injuries that did not respond to traditional joint mobilizations, HVLATs, other soft tissue interventions, or therapeutic exercise.
Simply addressing symptom-based articular, neural, or muscular complaints are only temporary fixes when the root cause of the problem may be connective tissue matrix dysfunction or fascial plane restriction. Without addressing soft tissue densification and the compensatory movement inefficiencies that they may cause, outcomes will be less effective.
We believe you can maximize your outcomes with these techniques by increasing efficiency of motion through fascial flexibility and neuromuscular re-education.

Is Integrated Movement Health the same entity as Myofascial Decompression and Cuptherapy?This education group has been growing significantly over the last 10 years, and what used to be Myofascial Decompression as a company expanded beyond the name of simply CupTherapy and needed a new Brand Name to encompassall the new course offerings. So Integrated Movement Health is the new umbrella company brand encompassing live and online MFD courses, but also Clinical Running Health, What the Cuff Blood Flow Restriction certification, and Integrated Concussion Management. We have courses for all movement and manual providers and continue to push the envelope of science forward thinking and evidence informed courses.
