Myofascial Dry Cupping

Myofascial Dry Cupping is a soft tissue therapy that involves the application of decompressed cups on the skin, creating a vacuum effect that lifts up underlying tissues such as the fascia and muscles, blood and other fluid, close to the surface of the skin. The increased circulation will reduce tension and spasms in the muscles and increase range of motion, and will help promote better blood flow

The cups will draw any stagnant blood up to the surface to allow for increased blood flow to the area, promoting the bodies self healing process.

Please note this treatment will leave circular marks on the skin which can last a day up to 21 days.

Testimonials

Mel has been fantastic in helping me feel more mobile again.
I had a great assessment with her, she made me feel comfortable and at ease and realised that the main problem was my calf muscles causing my foot pain.
Mel's knowledge is brilliant and I now have stretches to do at home in-between appointments.
It's made such a difference to me, especially as my job involves standing all day.

Mel was fantastic in helping release tight muscles. The Consultation was thorough and she was able to identify why i'm feeling some pain. I've been really struggling with some of my joints as I'm up and down a lot working in a primary school, but I've been able to sit cross-legged with ease, have had a lot less tension during my workouts and seem to recover quicker too, also helped by the great after care advice! Can't wait for my next one and to continue to feel the benefits.

I visited Mel, for a back, neck and shoulder massage. From the moment I entered, Mel made me feel at ease. The ambiance of the beautiful scent and calming music made me feel very relaxed. The massage was incredible and being a nurse and mother to a two year old takes its toll. Mel's incredible skills and attention to detail throughout the massage, for example focusing on the particular muscles I use when carrying my child or at work. In addition to this, she used a deep tissue technique in places which alleviated so much of the tension and pressure I carried in my neck, back and shoulders. Mel was kind and reassuring and I felt so relaxed and regenerated after my appointment.
It definitely improved my quality of sleep, state of mind, range of physical movement in day to day mobilisation as my aches and pains are drastically reduced and consequently, this has generally had a positive effect on my wellbeing. I would definitely like to schedule regular appointments with Mel and would recommend her to anyone.
