Gentle and holistic approach to enhancing your overall wellbeing
Cupping
What Is Cupping?
Vacuum cupping is a therapeutic technique that utilises a vacuum force created using a small silicone or plastic cup applied to the skin’s surface. It’s main aim is to improve blood flow to specific areas of the body. It can also help to remove toxins from tissues and reduce pain as a result.
Cupping is a form of chinese medicine and can facilitate the flow of “qi” meaning energy. It can help balance yin and yang which is thought to help the body fight pathogens, increase blood flow and reduce pain. It can leave you with what look like bruises in the shape of circles. This is however the blood that has been brought towards the surface of the skin and out of stagnant muscles.
How Can Cupping Benefit You?
- Pain Relief: By promoting blood flow and flushing out toxins such as lactic acid and uric acid.
- Reduce inflammation: By promoting blood flow.
- Boost immunity: By improving blood flow and stimulating the nervous system creating local short term inflammation.
- Abdominal pain: Using the cups in circular motions over the abdomen promotes movement through the digestive tract.
Is Cupping Right For You?
Cupping is used to complement other forms of therapy to promoting healing and reduce pain. Best avoided if you take blood thinners, skin conditions, varicose veins.

Testimonials That Speak Volumes
I've been suffering with a very painful shoulder for the past couple of months and had a 1 hour review and massage with Katie. She is very professional and knowledgable and has helped enormously with my shoulder. I've booked several more appointments and highly recommend Katie
My name is Tom and I'm 75. I've been receiving treatment on my shoulder for a possibly related previous rotator cuff injury. On my first consultation I couldn't raise my arm above shoulder height without severe pain and had tingling in my fingers possible due to trapped nerves.
Katie did a full assessment of my injury and put together an exercise program that was really easy to follow, however she continued to research other possible causes and symptoms which meant varying the treatments.
After 6 one hour treatments which included amazing muscular massage and acupuncture the pain is now only minor and rotational movement is excellent.
Katie is most professional in her approach of understanding individual issues and I would fully recommend engaging her services.Such a wonderful, caring, effective therapist.
I’ve been seeing Katie for a while and the difference to my day to day life is absolutely incredible. I was not a cripple but suffered most days with back pain and aches. I had accepted that this was life. Katie challenged this in multiple ways. She didn’t just go through the motions and tried many ways to help. Also encouraging me to help myself. I can’t recommend Katie highly enough. A brilliant innovative professional service. From someone who has a passion for her job and wants too really help.
