Relieve Tension. Support Recovery. Restore Wellbeing.
Cupping therapy is a traditional treatment that uses gentle suction to lift the skin and underlying tissues. Widely used alongside modern musculoskeletal care, cupping may help reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, promote relaxation and support recovery from aches and pains.
At Ardcroft Medical Clinic, Dr Darcy provides cupping therapy as part of a personalised approach to supporting musculoskeletal health and overall wellbeing.
Specially designed cups are placed on the skin to create a controlled suction effect. This gentle lifting action may help to:
Ease muscle tension and stiffness
Improve local circulation
Support soft tissue recovery
Promote relaxation
Reduce feelings of stress and tension
Enhance overall wellbeing
Depending on your needs, the cups may remain in one position or be gently moved across the skin during treatment.
Cupping therapy may be beneficial for:
Neck and shoulder pain
Back pain
Muscle tightness and stiffness
Sports-related muscle soreness
Tension headaches
Stress and tension
Poor sleep
General wellbeing and relaxation
Treatment is tailored to each individual following a clinical assessment.
Your appointment will begin with a consultation to discuss your symptoms, medical history and treatment goals.
During treatment, the cups create a pulling sensation on the skin, which most patients find comfortable and relaxing. Sessions typically last between 20 and 45 minutes depending on the treatment area and individual requirements.
Many patients report feeling deeply relaxed following treatment.
Cupping therapy is generally well tolerated when performed by a trained healthcare professional.
Temporary circular marks are common and are a normal response to treatment. These marks usually fade within several days to two weeks. Some people may also experience mild tenderness or temporary fatigue following treatment.
At Ardcroft Medical Clinic we offer a wide range of Aesthetic and medical treatments all carried out by our highly skilled and qualified staff members.
