Dry Cupping Therapy
Relieve muscle tension and support recovery with targeted suction therapy
Dry cupping is an effective manual therapy technique used to reduce muscular tension, improve circulation, and aid recovery. At Chichester Physio Ltd, Courtney Hutton offers dry cupping as part of a personalised treatment approach to help relieve pain and restore movement.
What Is Dry Cupping Therapy?
Dry cupping involves placing specially designed cups on the skin to create a gentle vacuum. This suction lifts the soft tissue beneath the cup, increasing blood flow to the area, loosening tight muscles, and stimulating the body’s natural healing response.
The cups are typically left in place for several minutes, and treatment can be adjusted depending on your condition and comfort level. The therapy is completely dry – no incisions or blood are involved – and the sensation is often described as a firm pulling or stretching.
what can it help with?
Courtney uses dry cupping alongside other hands-on treatments and rehabilitation exercises to support recovery from a wide range of issues, including:
- Muscle tension and stiffness
- Neck and shoulder pain
- Lower Back Pain
- Gastrointestinal Issues
- Headaches and migraines
- Sports injuries
- Postural fatigue
- Restricted movement
Many people also find it beneficial as part of a regular maintenance routine to help keep muscles supple and prevent future issues.
What Are The Benefits?
- Helps reduce muscle tightness and tension
- Improves local circulation
- Supports natural tissue repair
- Complements physiotherapy and soft tissue work
- Can be used as part of a wider treatment plan
is Dry Cupping safe?
Yes – dry cupping is a safe and gentle treatment when applied by a trained therapist. Some mild marks or circular discolouration may appear after treatment, but these usually fade within a 10 days and are not painful.
Courtney will always carry out a full assessment beforehand and discuss whether cupping is right for you.
