Cupping Massage
Suction cups on the back and body to relieve pain and inflammation
Cups create gentle suction that lifts the tissue, drawing stagnant blood to the surface and releasing tight fascia. Circular marks are normal and fade within a few days.
Traditionally used for
- Back and shoulder pain
- Muscle tightness
- Sluggish circulation
When this therapy should not be done
- Blood thinners and bleeding disorders
- Skin lesions at the site
- Pregnancy
- Severe anaemia
Tell us about any of these at the consultation. We will suggest something else that suits you.
Before you come
- Eat lightly two hours before
- Wear or bring clothes you do not mind getting oil on
After the session
- Rest for 20–30 minutes
- Warm bath once the oil has settled
- Warm water through the day, no cold drinks
