FURTHER INFORMATION ON MASSAGE & CUPPING

A hands-on and intensive massage, is designed to improve sports performance, or post-activity recovery. It is a manipulative technique that works with your soft tissue to alleviate pain, improve healing, and help to prepare you for the stresses and strains of day to day and physical activity. It’s a way to achieve balance whilst releasing tension. The focus is on reducing muscle stiffness and reducing swelling. It can help improve healing times and recovery post-exertion. It’s also used for reducing scar appearance and improving mobility in the fascia around the scar.

Cupping increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed. This may relieve muscle tension, which can improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair. It may also help form new connective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue.  

There is a growing body of research digging into how and why cupping may work.

A 2018 review of studies noted that cupping therapy has reported benefits for a variety of conditions that can be categorized as either localized or systematic diseases.

​

According a to the 2018 review, the effects of cupping therapy include:

• promoting the skin’s blood flow

• changing the skin’s biomechanical properties

• increasing pain thresholds

• improving local anaerobic (without oxygen) metabolism

• reducing inflammation

• boosting cellular immunity
