Injury & Sports Rehab Clinic
Dry Cupping in Greenwich, London
At Back 2 Fitness London, we specialise in effective recovery treatments that help you move better, feel stronger, and get back to doing the things you love. One of our most popular techniques is dry cupping therapy, a centuries-old practice with a modern sports therapy twist.
If you’re looking for dry cupping in Greenwich or searching for the best sports recovery clinic in London, you’ve come to the right place.
What Is Dry Cupping Therapy?
Dry cupping involves placing specially designed cups on the skin to create a suction effect. This gentle vacuum effect helps to:
-
Increase blood circulation
-
Release tight or knotted muscles
-
Stimulate healing in deeper tissues
-
Improve mobility and recovery
Unlike traditional "wet cupping," dry cupping does not involve any incisions or bloodletting — making it a safe, modern, and effective therapy option.
Benefits of Dry Cupping Therapy
Many of our clients in Greenwich and across London choose dry cupping to complement sports massage, dry needling, and physiotherapy techniques. The key benefits include:
-
Relieves muscle tension and stiffness – great for back pain, neck pain, or post-training soreness.
-
Enhances circulation and recovery – ideal for athletes and active individuals.
-
Reduces inflammation – supports faster healing after injury.
-
Promotes relaxation – the suction effect can trigger a deep sense of calm.
-
Improves range of motion – helping you move freely and without discomfort.
Whether you’re training for a marathon, recovering from the gym, or just feeling tight from desk work, cupping can give your body the reset it needs.
What to Expect During Your Session
-
Consultation – We’ll discuss your needs, pain points, and treatment goals.
-
Application of Cups – Suction cups are placed on specific areas, creating a pulling sensation.
-
Relax and Recover – Cups are left on the skin for 5–15 minutes while circulation improves.
-
Aftercare Advice – You’ll receive tailored recommendations for stretching, hydration, or follow-up sessions.
You may notice circular marks after treatment; these are painless and usually fade within a few days. They’re a sign of improved blood flow and tissue release.
