Emma Mango joined our team providing suction cupping and massage to help our members with their recovery and rehabilitation. Emma’s treatments do not take place at our Synergy HQ but at a separate facility. You can still book and pay for you treatments with the info below.

What is cupping?

The treatment consists of using small cups to create a vacuum that gently pulls the underlying skin and tissues. This is done either using a hand pump to draw the air out of the cups after being placed on the body, or by using a flame to create a vacuum in the cup and then placing the cup on your body. In either case, the result is the same, the cups stick to your body and stretch the tissues underneath. Cupping helps to relax muscles, fascia, connective, soft tissues, and increases circulation. The suction encourages a fresh supply of blood to problem areas, and helps the body recover excess fluids, reducing swelling.

The cups are usually placed in and around areas of pain and stiffness, left for a maximum of 15 minutes, and then removed. Sometimes the cups are moved around gently over the area to further encourage blood flow. You may have seen people with cupping marks - big round bruises - they might look painful, but cupping treatment should not hurt! The bruises aren’t usually painful to touch, they’re just a result of burst capillaries in the surface of the skin, and resolve in a few days.

*People with blood-clotting disorders or using blood-thinning medication are advised not to have cupping treatment.
