Dynamic suction to support accelerated recovery.

Dry cupping creates controlled suction on the skin to encourage blood flow, reduce pain, and support mobility. This approach complements stretching and physiotherapy by helping tissues move more freely.

Encourage circulation

Promotes localized blood flow to targeted areas.

Support tissue mobility

Helps reduce soft tissue restriction.

Ease muscular tightness

Encourages relaxation in overworked areas.

Complementary recovery

Pairs effectively with physiotherapy and cryotherapy treatments.

How dry cupping therapy works

Controlled suction is applied to the skin using specialized cups to stimulate circulation, relieve muscle tension, and support the body’s natural recovery processes.

01

Placement

Targeted Suction

Specialized cups are placed over specific muscle groups or tension zones.

02

Treatment

Gentle Decompression

A vacuum effect lifts the tissue slightly, increasing blood flow to the area and supporting fascial release.

03

Recovery

Circulation and recovery cycles

Improved circulation and reduced restriction can leave treated areas feeling lighter and more mobile.

Dry Cupping Therapy FAQ

If you suffer from pain and mobility issues it is quite common for us to get by, using over-the-counter pain killers and ointments. Often we don’t seek the support of a Physio until we have been referred via a GP or until the pain is so bad.

Physiotherapists are trained professionals that help injured patients get back to the highest range of movements. If left untreated injuries often don’t heal as well as if you were on a treatment plan. Injuries, if left for 12 weeks can become chronic and chronic injuries are a lot harder to treat. Injuries also heal a lot quicker if you work with a physiotherapist, with the added benefit of often having less pain and more range of movement than before you had your injury.

If you feel it is only a minor injury and you are still in pain 48 hours after the injury, make an appointment with a physiotherapist. If you feel the injury is more serious make an appointment immediately. If for an extended period, you have been living with chronic pain and or limited mobility and range of movement make an appointment with a physiotherapist.

Wear something comfortable. Bring a pair of shorts if it is a lower back, hip, knee, ankle, or a foot problem. Bring a tank top / vest if it is a neck, upper back, shoulder, elbow, or hand problem.

Physiotherapy can be helpful for people of all ages with a wide range of health conditions, including problems affecting the:

bones, joints, and soft tissue – such as back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, and sports injuries

brain or nervous system – such as movement problems resulting from a stroke, multiple sclerosis (MS), or Parkinson’s disease

heart and circulation – such as rehabilitation after a heart attack

Physiotherapy can improve your physical activity while helping you to prevent further injuries.

Our Physiotherapists use different treatment methods in order to deal with a wide range of injuries. Depending on the nature and severity of your injury, you may require:

Trigger point release
Localized red light therapy
Localized Cryotherapy
Percussion massage
Assisted stretching
Muscle electrotherapy
Kinesiology taping
Patient education, home exercises
