Why do you need Dry Cupping Therapy?
Sometimes stretching and massage alone don’t reach stubborn knots. Dry cupping therapy is a scientifically proven method that uses gentle negative pressure to lift skin and fascia away from muscle, creating space for fresh blood flow and speeding waste removal—so recovery starts from the inside out.
The Cupping Flow—5 Focused Phases
Consult & Target
A quick chat pinpoints your sorest spots and any contraindications.
Prep & Warm‑Up
Light massage warms tissue so cups grip comfortably.
Decompress & Draw
Silicone or glass cups create suction, separating fascia, unlocking adhesions and pulling oxygen‑rich blood into the area.
Glide & Release
Cups glide along muscle fibres (dynamic cupping) to flush waste and lengthen fascia.
Reset & Advise
Cups off; we finish with mobility drills and hydration tips to lock‑in the gains.
What to Expect During & After
You’ll feel a gentle pulling sensation—often described as “reverse massage.” Circular marks (petechiae) can appear; they’re painless and usually fade within a week. Stay hydrated and avoid intense heat (sauna, hot bath) for 24 hours.
