Dry Cupping Therapy

in Troedyrhiw, Merthyr Tydfil

Support Recovery • Reduce Tension • Improve Movement

Professional Myofascial Dry Cupping

Our dry cupping service in Troedyrhiw offers a modern, effective way to ease muscle tension, improve mobility, and support overall recovery. Unlike massage, which compresses the tissues, dry cupping gently lifts the skin and fascia. This decompressive technique helps tight areas relax, encourages fresh blood flow, and creates more space for restricted or overworked muscles.


Whether you train regularly, work in a physically demanding job, or simply feel stiff from day-to-day life, dry cupping can help restore comfort and function.

Benefits of Dry Cupping

Dry cupping can be used on its own or as part of a wider recovery plan. Clients often use it to help with:


  1. Muscle tightness and stiffness
  2. Reduced flexibility or mobility
  3. Localised tension or “knots”
  4. Circulation and tissue health
  5. General recovery after training
  6. Relaxation and wellbeing


It’s a great complement to sports massage, movement work, and stretching — offering a different type of stimulus by lifting, rather than pressing into, the tissues.

What to Expect in Your Session

1. Consultation

We start with a short discussion about your goals, training habits, lifestyle, and any discomfort you’re experiencing. This helps us target the right areas.


2. Application of Cups

Cups are placed on the skin to create gentle suction. Depending on your needs, the cups may stay in one spot or be moved slowly across the muscles.


3. Combined Techniques

To get the best results, your session may include additional methods such as light soft-tissue work, stretching, or joint mobilisation.


4. Reassessment & Aftercare

We finish by reassessing the treated areas and giving simple aftercare guidance to help prolong the benefits.


5. Temporary Marks

It’s normal to see circular marks after treatment. These fade within a few days and are simply a natural response to increased circulation.
