Cupping

Cupping Therapy is an ancient technique used in modern physiotherapy to relieve pain, reduce muscle tension, and improve circulation.

What is ‘cupping’?

It involves placing specially designed cups on the skin to create suction, which lifts the underlying tissues. This vacuum effect promotes blood flow, supports tissue healing, and can help release tight fascia and trigger points.

Cupping is often used as part of a broader rehabilitation plan, especially for musculoskeletal conditions, sports recovery, and chronic pain management.

Cupping may be recommended for individuals experiencing:

  • Muscle tightness or trigger points
  • Chronic pain or inflammation
  • Restricted mobility or stiffness
  • Postural strain or overuse injuries
  • Recovery needs following intense physical activity

It is particularly useful when traditional manual therapy alone isn’t enough to release deep tissue tension or improve circulation.

At Physio Matters, cupping therapy is integrated into your personalised treatment plan and may include:

  • Static cupping – cups are placed and left on specific areas to target pain and tension
  • Functional (dynamic) cupping – cups are moved across the skin while maintaining suction to release fascia and improve mobility
  • Combination with movement therapy – enhancing flexibility and range of motion
  • Trigger point release and soft tissue mobilisation

Cupping is non-invasive and generally well-tolerated. It can be a powerful adjunct to manual therapy, exercise rehabilitation, and recovery strategies.ent. It’s also effective in preventing re-injury and managing long-term conditions.

If you or someone you care for is dealing with muscle pain, stiffness, or recovery challenges, cupping therapy may help. Contact us to book an assessment or speak to one of our team.
