Sports Cupping Therapy

Service Description

Sports Cupping Therapy is a soft tissue treatment that uses suction cups to create negative pressure on the skin and underlying muscles. Unlike traditional sports massage which applies pressure to tissues, cupping lifts them, helping to increase blood flow, reduce muscle tension and promote recovery. Benefits include: Improved circulation - enhances oxygen and nutrient delivery to muscles. Reduced muscle soreness - helps flush out metabolic waste and ease post-exercise stiffness. Faster recovery - aids in healing minor soft tissue injuries and reducing inflammation. Increased flexibility - loosens tight fascia and muscle adhesions. Pain relief - can help reduce chronic muscular pain and tension. Athletes often use cupping as part of their recovery routine to maintain muscle health, improve performance and prevent injury. Cupping creates a vacuum on the skin, which draws blood into the area and breaks tiny blood vessels (capillaries) under the surface. The result is round, purplish or reddish marks — not burns or cuts — that resemble bruises called ecchymoses. These marks are not true bruises from trauma, but rather from suction. ✅ What’s normal The marks can range in colour from light pink to deep purple, depending on: How strong the suction was How long the cups were left on Your skin type and circulation They usually don’t hurt much and fade within 3–10 days, sometimes up to two weeks.
