Understanding Cupping
Cupping therapy offers a unique approach to healing and rejuvenation. By using specialised cups designed for skin safety, our therapists apply gentle suction to your skin and muscle tissue, yielding therapeutic benefits that have been scientifically supported over the years.
Cupping is known to significantly improve circulation and blood flow while also assisting in the removal of toxins. Its muscle pain and ache reduction properties make it a perfect complement to Remedial Massage and Myotherapy for addressing soft-tissue injuries and alleviating muscle tension. This process promotes cellular repair and revitalises the affected areas.
With its roots in Chinese Medicine, cupping therapy has been a valued healthcare technique for centuries, offering its unique benefits to those seeking natural remedies.
Benefits of Cupping Therapy
The therapy helps stimulate the lymphatic system, facilitating the expulsion of waste from your body. This contributes to overall health improvement and a stronger immune system, ensuring you’re in the best shape possible.
Cupping therapy not only stimulates and stretches muscle tissue but also enhances joint range of motion, reducing muscle tightness and fatigue. It has a restorative effect, promoting the formation of new blood vessels and connective tissue, aiding in the healing process.
A Sense of Calm and Well-Being
Cupping therapy can also provide a profound sense of tranquillity and overall positive well-being. It serves as an excellent addition to our Remedial Massage and Myotherapy treatments, helping you achieve the optimal state of health and relaxation. The post-cupping marks, if they appear, are generally short-lived, typically fading within a few days.
