Dry cupping is a traditional therapy that uses gentle suction to stimulate the skin and underlying tissues, promoting healing, reducing pain, and improving circulation. This non-invasive treatment helps to release muscle tension, encourage blood flow, and support the body’s natural detoxification processes.
At Maintain Independence, we offer several specialised dry cupping treatments tailored to your individual needs, including:
Cupping for Pain Relief:Helps to reduce muscle tightness, ease chronic pain, and alleviate discomfort from injuries.
Cupping for Arthritis:Assists in reducing joint stiffness, improving mobility, and decreasing inflammation associated with arthritis.
Weight Loss Cupping:Supports metabolism and encourages lymphatic drainage, helping to reduce fluid retention and promote body contouring.
How Dry Cupping Works
During a session, small cups are applied to the skin using suction, which gently lifts the tissue. This process increases blood flow to the area, stimulates the lymphatic system, and encourages the release of toxins and waste products. The suction can also help relax muscles and fascia, easing stiffness and improving flexibility.
What to Expect
Dry cupping typically leaves circular marks or mild bruising on the skin that may last several days. This is a normal and harmless side effect indicating increased blood flow to the area. Many clients report feeling relaxed and refreshed after treatment, with improvements in pain, movement, and overall wellbeing.
Who Should Avoid Dry Cupping
Dry cupping is generally safe, but it is not recommended for:
Individuals with skin infections, open wounds, or fragile skin
People with blood clotting disorders or who are taking blood-thinning medications
Pregnant women (consult your healthcare provider first)
Those with severe cardiovascular conditions or certain chronic illnesses (please discuss your medical history with us before booking)
