Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy at Meadow Motions is a gentle, hands-on treatment that uses therapeutic suction to address muscular tension and soft-tissue restriction. Specialised cups are placed on targeted areas to create a lifting effect on the soft tissue, helping to release deep muscular tension, ease stiffness, and support circulation.
This technique works through the fascia and muscle layers to address discomfort linked to chronic pain, restricted movement, postural strain, or recovery from physical overuse. It can be particularly useful for addressing tightness that hasn’t responded to general massage, and for improving range of motion in affected areas.
By stimulating blood and lymphatic flow, cupping therapy supports circulation and helps address soft-tissue restriction associated with physical strain. Whether you're managing long-term muscle tension or recovering from physical strain, this treatment provides targeted support to help improve comfortable movement.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The primary difference is that dry cupping is non-invasive and does not break or cut the skin. Wet cupping (also known as Hijama) involves creating small, superficial scratches on the skin before reapplying suction. Our clinic offers strictly dry cupping, focusing on targeted treatment of muscular tension and soft-tissue restriction without breaking the skin.
-
Dry cupping is a non-invasive therapy used to address deep muscle tension and support improved mobility. We place specialised cups on your skin and use a vacuum pump to create controlled suction. This vacuum effect lifts the skin and underlying soft tissue, helping to reduce muscular tension and soft-tissue restriction around the treated area.
-
The circular marks are a common temporary response to dry cupping and may be accompanied by mild tenderness. They can resemble bruises and usually fade gradually without treatment. The marks may last for several days, with the duration varying depending on the individual and the intensity of the treatment.
