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
For decades I have had varying degrees of lower back pain and tried everything from injections to traction. I resigned myself to taking painkillers for many years. Recently the pain was more severe and I couldn't turn over in bed or get out of bed to go to the bathroom without it hurting. I was recommended to go to Katie by a family member after he had a serious back injury. Am I glad I did. After some weeks of intense treatment followed by monthly appointments and suggestions for exercises as well as advice on stress causing pain together with diet, I am now pain free and not taking any painkillers. If it reoccurs in the future I will have booster sessions. I have no hesitation in recommending Katie to anyone with back pain.
Always amazing treatments. Fascinating being told why I have pains and how they are all connected. Katie really knows her stuff.
Amazing service helping my son with his back. Particularly in lockdown - face to face zoom with my son and follow up emails and exercises. Thank you - couldn't have asked for more.
Katie, your customer service is excellent. You have have taken time to understand my problem and to listen. Your diagnostic skills and follow up treatment has been amazing, and all exercises have proved beneficial and any advice that I was given will so useful to me in the long term. Thank you.
