What Is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping therapy uses suction applied to the skin to lift and decompress underlying tissues. This can help reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and support recovery.
It is often used alongside hands-on treatment as part of a broader approach but can also be applied as a focused treatment in its own right depending on your needs.
What Can Cupping Therapy Help With?
Injury Therapy can help with a wide range of pain and movement problems, including:
Muscle Tightness and Tension
Helps release tight or overworked muscles. Useful for reducing discomfort and improving flexibility.
Sports Recovery
Supports recovery after training or activity. Helps reduce stiffness and restore normal movement.
Back and Shoulder Pain
Can help reduce muscular pain and restriction. Often used as part of a broader treatment approach.
Circulation and Tissue Health
Encourages blood flow to the treated area. Supports tissue recovery and overall function.
General Muscle Fatigue
Useful for tired, overworked muscles. Helps restore normal tissue tone and reduce heaviness.
What Happens in a Session?
Cups are applied to the skin to create suction, lifting the underlying tissue. This may be done statically or combined with movement depending on the area being treated. Cupping is often integrated with other hands-on techniques to support a more complete treatment.
The intensity and duration are adjusted to suit your comfort level and treatment goals.
Is Cupping Therapy Right for You?
Cupping therapy is suitable for most people looking to reduce muscle tension, support recovery, or improve movement. It is often used alongside other treatments, but can also be booked as a standalone option depending on your preference.

Targets Tissue Differently
Uses suction rather than pressure to affect the underlying tissues.
Supports Recovery
Encourages circulation and helps reduce post-activity stiffness.
Can Be Combined with Other Treatments
Often used alongside manual therapy for a more complete approach.
Simple and Effective
A straightforward treatment that can deliver noticeable results.
Common Questions
Does cupping leave marks?
Yes, it can leave temporary marks on the skin. These are not bruises and usually fade within a few days.
Can cupping be combined with other treatments?
Yes, it is often used alongside other therapies as part of a broader treatment approach.
Is cupping painful?
Cupping creates a strong pulling sensation but should not be painful. It is always adjusted to your comfort.
Is this the same as wet cupping?
No. The treatment we provide is dry cupping, which uses suction cups on the skin without breaking the skin or drawing blood.
