Cup Therapy
At The Firm, silicone or plastic vacuum cups are used to lift and gently stretch the tissues on areas such as back and legs.
Likened to a pull or decompression instead of the usual compression or push used in massage, this can be a stand alone treatment or combined with other massage therapies.
Benefits
Cup therapy softens tight muscles, loosens adhesions and lifts up restricted connective tissue. As blood flow is increased, deep inflammation is moved to the surface and excess fluids and toxins are encouraged to move to the lymph pathways for elimination, while nutrients and oxygen levels are increased.
Cup Therapy
Choose to have stand alone cup therapy on back and/or legs.
Cup therapy feels like a light to medium pressure with a prolonged stretch on the area. This leads to a feeling of looseness when addressing muscle tension. The cups can be left stationary on the body so that relaxation and therapeutic effects can take place. In addition, cups can also be glided to create a massage or flashed (quickly moved) in more tense areas.
Cups work best on hairless areas for good adhesion. This therapy will take up to one hour.
£ 40 per session.
​
Alternatively, ask your therapist about adding cup therapy to enhance your sports massage experience. Cups can be used to loosen areas prior to therapies or as an added stretch after massage. All included in your usual cost. Please request when booking.
