Dry Cupping in Bristol

At Bristol Physio, we’re passionate about helping you move better and feel your best. That’s why we offer a wide range of treatments, including dry cupping, a historical technique experiencing a modern revival for its effectiveness in promoting several benefits.

How does Dry Cupping work?

Dry cupping utilises specialised cups made from glass, silicone, plastic or bamboo. Charlotte will place the cups on specific areas of your skin and create a vacuum using a pump on the top of the cup. This gentle suction pulls the underlying tissue upwards, creating a vacuum. The cup is either left in place (static) and can leave a visible circular mark on the skin, or the cup will be gently slid across the skin and perhaps leave a line. These marks nornal, are temporary and typically fade within a few days.

Benefits of Dry Cupping

Safe and effective

Dry cupping,when performed by a qualified professional like our Bristol Physio therapists, is a safe and effective treatment with minimal side effects.

Non-invasive

Unlike some other therapies, dry cupping avoids needles or medications, making it a great option for those seeking a natural approach to healing.

Customisable treatment

Dry cupping can be tailored to target specific areas of concern, ensuring you receive the most effective treatment possible.

Complementary therapy

Dry cupping can be integrated seamlessly with other therapies offered at Bristol Physio, such as massage therapy, rehab or dry needling, to create a holistic treatment plan.

What to expect

Your initial consultation at Bristol Physio will involve a thorough assessment of your condition and goals. Our experienced therapists will then determine if dry cupping is the right treatment for you. The treatment will be explained to you and any pros & cons. During the session, your therapist will ask for feedback and will use a mixture of massage and cupping to get the best results. The treatment itself is generally painless, although you may experience a slight pulling sensation. If you are uncomfortable at any time, we can swap back to fewer cups, lighter or just massage.

What does Dry Cupping target?

Pain Relief

Dry cupping can significantly reduce muscle tension and soreness, offering relief from persistent conditions like back pain, neck pain and headaches.

Improved Circulation

By creating suction on the skin, dry cupping draws blood to the targeted area, enhancing blood flow and promoting healing.

Faster Recovery

Dry cupping can improve muscle recovery after and reduce the risk of injuries.

Greater Range of Motion

Tight muscles can restrict movement. Dry cupping helps loosen fascia and improve flexibility, allowing for a wider range of motion.

Stress Reduction

The overall sense of relaxation dry cupping provides can significantly reduce stress and promote better sleep.
