Dry Cupping Therapy Treatment in London
A hands on approach to targeted body relief and recovery that restore balance, improve circulation and support deep tissue healing.
Restoring Balance with Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is an ancient therapy method to encourage circulation and relieve muscular tension and allow natural healing. It consists of placing specifically designed cups on certain parts of the body to create suction. This approach promotes energy circulation, reduces inflammation, and encourages the body’s natural healing system.
At PRAX Physio, our expert physiotherapists integrate Dry Cupping Therapy into personalised treatment plans to address your unique needs. Whether you’re managing chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or seeking relief from muscle tightness, we tailor each session to support your specific rehabilitation goals.
How Does Dry Cupping Work?
Cupping works by using vacuum-sealed cups to apply suction to the skin. The suction sips the soft stuff, increasing blood flow and removing toxins or stagnation.
This advanced process of cell repair alleviates
post-exercise soreness and can even aid in overall stiffness and immobility.
At PRAX Physio, we have both dry cupping and moving cupping. Each option is chosen based on your requirements and comfort zone at the time. Sessions will often form part of wider treatment plans for optimal results.
Every Dry Cupping Session Follows a Thoughtful Process
At PRAX Physio, our Dry Cupping treatments are personalised and comfortable from start to finish:
Consultation & Customisation: Your session begins with a quick chat about your concerns, pain areas, & goals. Our physiotherapists use this to tailor the cupping plan specifically for you.
Setting the Scene: You’ll be guided to a comfortable treatment setup, where we make sure you’re relaxed & understand each step before we begin.
The Cupping Process: Specially designed cups are gently placed on target areas. The suction intensity is adjusted based on your comfort and body’s response to ensure the best results.
Aftercare & Recovery: Once the cups are removed, your therapist will review your skin’s response, discuss aftercare tips, and guide you on how to maintain the benefits post-session.

How does 'Dry' Cupping differ from 'Fire' Cupping?
Dry cupping utilises suction to draw blood without heat, while fire cupping warms the cup before placing it on the skin. The heat in fire cupping gives deeper suction and is more powerful.
Both methods are helpful and selected according to one’s therapeutic needs.

How long does the discoloration from cupping last?
Discolouration usually lasts a few days to a week, depending on the filters of your skin as well as the strength of the suck.
The marks are not bruises, and they generally don’t hurt. They’re a standard element of the healing response initiated by cupping.
