About this service
What cupping therapy involves
Cupping places suction cups on the skin over tight or painful muscle. The suction lifts the tissue slightly, which many patients find eases deep tightness and helps them move more freely in the session.
Marks left by the cups usually fade over a few days. The therapist explains what to expect and checks your skin and medical history first.
Focus areas
- Soft tissue assessment first
- Suction applied over tight areas
- Stretching while tissue is warmed
- Skin and medical screening
Please note: treatment is decided only after an individual assessment by the treating physiotherapist. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis or a promise of a particular outcome.
