Depending on your needs, treatment may include additional techniques to complement your massage. They are chosen as part of your overall treatment plan and used alongside hands-on work to support pain management, movement and recovery.
Functional cupping
Functional cupping uses specialised cups to gently decompress the tissues, supporting mobility, circulation and movement. Unlike traditional stationary cupping, it incorporates movement and manual techniques, so the cups work dynamically with your body's natural motion.
It may help with muscular tension, restricted movement, postural strain and discomfort where extra soft tissue support is useful, and fits naturally into a broader massage treatment.
Dry needling
Dry needling uses fine needles to target specific areas of muscular tension and sensitivity. It may help reduce muscular discomfort, improve muscle function and support more comfortable movement.
It is used as part of an integrated treatment alongside massage and manual therapy, with the aim of addressing contributing factors rather than only symptoms. Where appropriate, it is included in your session based on your presentation and goals, and always discussed with you first.
