Cupping Therapy

A complementary technique that uses cups to create controlled suction on the skin, for relaxation, less sense of muscle tension and stiffness and more bodily comfort.

It can be integrated into Therapeutic Massage, Sports Massage and Myofascial Release, depending on what each person needs. It is not only for athletes: it is for anyone with an indication for the technique. Nothing invasive: just manual techniques and cups.

Who it's for

  • Muscle tension or overload and stiffness
  • Discomfort linked to routine, posture or long periods sitting or standing
  • Recovery after physical effort
  • People looking for relaxation and muscle recovery

Your session

  • Arrival. I check with you whether there is any reason to avoid the technique (see the list below).
  • During. A short, targeted session: the cups create controlled suction on the skin, over the areas of tension.
  • Afterwards. Less sense of tension and more comfort in the body, with circulation stimulated, muscles relaxed and tension eased straight afterwards. Round marks on the skin are normal and fade within a few days: they are an expected effect of the technique, not an injury.

Prior assessment

There are situations where the technique is avoided or assessed case by case. Talk to me before booking if you have:

  • pregnancy
  • anticoagulant medication or clotting disorders
  • thrombosis or suspected thrombosis
  • wounds, infections, inflammation or skin lesions
  • pronounced varicose veins in the area to be treated
  • frequent bleeding or bruising
  • vascular disease
  • recent surgery or post-operative recovery without medical authorisation

Other health conditions may also make the technique unsuitable, so always ask me.
