Cupping uses negative pressure to lift skin, fascia, and muscle tissue — increasing blood flow, reducing tension, and promoting recovery. Unlike traditional massage, which compresses tissue, cupping gently lifts it, relieving pressure and encouraging natural healing.
Cups may be placed on specific trigger points or moved along muscle lines to stretch fascia and improve mobility. Traditional cupping may leave temporary round marks, a normal sign of increased circulation and inflammation that supports healing. These marks are painless and typically fade within a week.
Myofascial cupping involves gliding cups across the skin to stretch and mobilise soft tissue. This technique generally avoids bruising and is ideal for improving flexibility and reducing muscular restriction.
All of our practitioners are trained in both traditional cupping and myofascial cupping.
