Sports Therapy

What is Sports Therapy?

Sports Therapy focuses specifically on the rehabilitation of an individuals injury, with the aim of returning them to full functional fitness as quickly as possible. With continued treatment, future injuries can often be prevented.

Myofascial Cupping

​

Myofascial Cupping originates from Egypt, dating back to 1550 BC. It is a soft tissue therapy that encourages healing by creating a negative pressure or suction on the skin using cups that pull up underlying tissues, blood and other fluids close to the surface of the skin. 

​

Myofascial Cups are positioned over tight muscles and fascial and are either left 'static' or are used in a 'gliding' motion. It can help treat soft tissue conditions and musculo-skeletal tension, pain, and common sporting injuries. It can also create relaxation through stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system.
