What is Dry Cupping
The vacuum effect lifts the skin and underlying soft tissues, increasing blood circulation, promoting healing, and facilitating cell repair by improving blood flow. Additionally, it reduces tension and spasms within muscles and soft tissue structures, decreasing pressure on pain receptors, and aiding in the relief of pain and discomfort. Cups can be made from glass, silicone or plastic and can be used both at rest and with movement, with application times typically lasting just a few minutes.
You may have noticed athletes with circular bruise-like marks or raised circles on their body’s, particularly the back and shoulders – these marks are likely from dry cupping therapy. While dry cupping is generally safe, it may not be suitable for everyone. Individuals with certain medical conditions, such as skin conditions, haemophilia, or pregnancy, should consult with their therapist before undergoing cupping therapy.
How this service can help?
Improved Circulation & Healing
The suction created by cupping promotes better blood circulation, which can enhance oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues, supporting improved healing times.
Relaxation & Stress Reduction
The therapeutic effects of cupping extend to the nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing stress by calming the central nervous system.
Detoxification
Cupping therapy is believed to help the body eliminate toxins, waste products and cellular debris by improving lymphatic circulation.
Pain Relief
Dry cupping can alleviate musculoskeletal pain and discomfort by improving blood flow to affected areas, reducing inflammation and swelling, relaxing tense muscles and decreasing pressure on pain receptors.
Enhanced Range

“I highly recommend Luke. I personally have a complicated history of injuries and don’t always feel confident in putting my trust in a therapist, but I can honestly say my massage was fantastic, totally tailored to my needs. I will definitely be going back very soon for another session.”
