Dry Cupping Therapy

What is it? 

 

Dry cupping is an ancient form of therapy that uses glass or plastic cups to create a vacuum and lift the soft tissues. This increases blood flow and induces a stretch effect on the soft tissues. Due to the suction of the cups you will have cupping marks after treatment, these are more severe on the back and shoulders and fade within 3-14 days. 

Why do I need it?

​

I find dry cupping is best used on clients that have suffered an injury, have chronic pain such as neck pain, or require a more in depth treatment.

This treatment can be uncomfortable just like sports massages, however the release of tension is incredible.
