Suction cup therapy is an ancient form of complementary therapy dating back to 1550 BC, with roots in Asiatic and Middle-eastern cultures.

​

Performed by applying cups to specific areas and points of the body to create a subatmospheric pressure; this increases vascular circulation and stretch which aids in muscular and fascial restriction in a gentle way, allowing treatment on areas of soreness and to aid in increasing pain thresholds during treatments.

​

With an ITEC Level 3 in Sports Massage Therapy, Ross has further trained in soft-tissue modalities such as myofascial release and dry cupping therapy, creating a controlled vacuum for effective treatments.

Dry cupping has a multitude of benefits which include:

- Increased blood flow

- Reduced pain and inflammation

- Increasing pain threshold
- Reduced inflammation
- Improving anaerobic metabolism
- Promotes a state of relaxation

Dry cupping can be used alongside sports massage or as a stand-alone treatment.
