Cupping 


If you’ve ever seen athletes on the TV with perfectly round bruises on their back, and wondered what they were, welcome to cupping. Please don’t let the marks put you off though. Not everyone bruises like that, and there are different cupping methods available at The Health Lounge which can be tailored to suit your needs.

Cupping is the trendiest sports massage treatment in the UK at moment, since it offers incredibly effective tension release and is often much more comfortable than deep tissue massage or trigger point therapy.

 

 

 

The benefits

Of Cupping Therapy 


 

Cupping has been around since 1550BC, so you can be certain it’s a safe and beneficial treatment to enhance your well-being. 

Unlike regular massage therapy, cupping uses the power of suction to lift and release muscles and fascia, making you feel incredibly mobile and light instantly. Your therapist will apply silicon cups to areas of tightness and tension, and all you need to do is relax, and feel the pain vanish in just a few short minutes.
