Cupping therapy in Lilydale
Been wanting to try cupping for back pain, tight muscles or recovery from sports? Many of our myotherapists and osteopaths are trained to use cupping as part of their treatment of patients, including athletes.
What is cupping?
Cupping is a hands-on therapy where a qualified practitioner places rounded cups on the skin to create gentle vacuum effect.
This lifts the underlying tissue, helping to reduce muscle tension and improve blood flow. Increased circulation may support the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the area, assisting the body’s natural recovery processes.
Cupping can also encourage lymphatic drainage, which may help reduce fluid build-up and support the immune system.
Cupping has been around for thousands of years and is a cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It's now also widely used in osteopathy and myotherapy. Cupping is used by some elite athletes as part of their recovery and training routines.

What to expect after a cupping treatment
Cupping often leaves temporary, red circular marks on the skin where the cups are applied. These are a normal response and typically fade within a few days.
The effects of treatment may continue over the following 24–48 hours, as circulation to the area increases and tissues begin to recover.
