For the dynamic cupping protocol, the participants will be instructed to remain seated on the massage table with their feet supported, and the technique will applied to the entire shoulder (anterior, lateral and posterior face) and surrounding muscles (upper trapezius and pectoralis major). The cupping will be performed using a plastic cupping cup (5,08 cm in diameter) (K.S. Choi Corp®) and a pistol grip hand pump (K.S. Choi Corp®). The dynamic cupping will be performed for ten minutes, at a slow pace, and consists of applying a small amount of massage cream (ATL®) over the entire shoulder (to obtain the ideal sliding surface for cupping application), insufflation of the suction cup, with two pumps, and sliding it in the direction of the muscle fibers around the shoulder and also in the transversal direction.

Participants in the CG group will remain at rest, sitting on the massage table for 10 minutes.

Data will be collected in two moments: baseline (M0) and after the intervention/control (M1). The shoulder range of motion will be measured using a universal goniometer.

Participants will be instructed to perform the various active movements of the shoulder on the dominant upper limb. The assessments of the shoulder flexion, extension, abduction and adduction movements will be performed standing up, controlling possible compensations. To assess abduction and horizontal adduction movements, the participants will remain seated on a massage table. Internal and external rotation movements will be assessed on a massage table in supine, without inclination. Measurements will be considered invalid if the participant is compensated with another body part. Three measures will be collected for each movement and the average of the three will be considered.
