Cupping

Cupping involves placing a cup on the skin and creating a gentle suction, which lifts and mobilises the skin and soft tissue. It may be used where appropriate to support short-term comfort and movement, either stationary or moving, based on your presentation.

What it may help with

• Neck and upper-back tightness
• Low back pain with muscular involvement
• Shoulder and thoracic tightness
• Sports and training-related muscle soreness
• General stiffness affecting movement

What to know

Temporary skin marks or bruising can occur and may last several days. Cupping is not performed over broken skin or where it is not clinically appropriate. Expected sensations and aftercare are discussed with you, and consent is obtained before treatment.
