  • About Treatment.

  • Cupping and Graston therapy are soft tissue therapy techniques offered as a complementary, holistic service. They are designed to support recovery, mobility, and overall wellbeing. These treatments are not a substitute for medical diagnosis or medical treatment.

    Your therapist will explain the specific technique being used and the treatment area before starting your session.

    Cupping therapy uses suction to help mobilise fascia and soft tissue. This may include different techniques such as static cupping, glide cupping, dry cupping, fire cupping, or wet cupping (Hijama), which involves controlled superficial skin incisions.

    Graston therapy (IASTM) uses specialist handheld instruments to work through areas of soft tissue restriction, fascia, and scar tissue. The tools provide feedback to help identify and treat areas requiring attention.

    When Graston therapy and cupping are combined within the same session, Graston therapy is usually performed first, followed by cupping therapy.

  • Expected Effects & Possible Side Effects

  • Cupping commonly leaves visible circular marks on the skin, which can range from light red to dark purple. These marks are an expected and normal response to treatment and are not considered an injury. They will usually fade naturally within a few days to two weeks.

    Some clients may experience temporary soreness, tenderness, or sensitivity in the treated area after a session. This can be more noticeable after wet cupping (Hijama), as controlled superficial skin incisions are made as part of the technique.

    Graston therapy (IASTM) may cause temporary redness, tenderness, or small pinpoint bruising (petechiae) due to the soft tissue techniques used during treatment.

    Certain skin conditions, such as psoriasis or eczema, may temporarily improve or worsen following treatment. Please inform your therapist of any existing skin conditions before your session so this can be discussed.

    Some clients may occasionally experience light-headedness, dizziness, or fainting during or after treatment.

    Cupping effectiveness can vary between individuals, and cups may not attach or hold effectively depending on factors such as hair type, skin type, or the treatment area. Your therapist will advise you if this affects your session.

  • Aftercare Guidance

  • Following your treatment, it is important to follow the recommended aftercare advice to support your recovery and allow your body to respond effectively to the treatment.

    Please avoid training, gym sessions, showering, sauna/steam rooms, or any activity that causes excessive sweating for a minimum of 24 hours after your treatment.

    Temporary soreness, tenderness, cupping marks, redness, or mild bruising can be a normal response following treatment. These effects should gradually reduce and usually settle within a few days to two weeks.

    If you experience any unusual reactions, prolonged discomfort, or have any concerns following your treatment, please contact your therapist for further advice.
