❓What is myofascial/dry cupping?
Small suction cups are placed on the skin, and a vacuum is created inside them to draw the skin and underlying tissue upward. This creates space in between the fascia & the muscles and increases blood flow to the area.
The cups are usually left in place for 5 to 15 minutes, and no incisions are made, so it’s called “dry” cupping. Afterward, you may notice temporary red or purple marks where the cups were
In fact, many celebrities on the red carpet and athletes are seen with these marks on their back. It is a traditional therapy which is currently very popular in the health industry.
❓Is it invasive? Does it hurt?
It is non invasive, unlike wet cupping which draws blood out. It is a safe and effective treatment.. and hurts much less then that manual massage believe it or not ! Most people would say cupping is painless. It looks worse than it feels.
❓What is the purpose?
✅ Pain relief & muscle tension (especially back, shoulder and leg pain)
✅ Maintenance - for optimum health, improved circulation and bodily functions
✅ Restores mobility -as it loosens the tissues, aiding in fascia restrictions
✅ Healing and recovery- after a workout, sporting session, injury management
❓What does a cupping session look like?
We combine cupping with our sports massages at a slightly higher additional value , so you get 2 in 1. The deep massage for compression, and the suction cups for lifting. Therefore resulting as the perfect duo.
However if you opt for our pain specific treatment, cupping is sometimes included as part of the treatment plan, but isn't the main focus.
