Dry Cupping Therapy in Newcastle

Release Tension, Restore Energy

Feel the Flow, Heal the Body

Lift, Loosen, and Revitalise

Dry cupping therapy is a natural, non-invasive treatment that uses gentle suction to lift the skin and underlying tissues. This ancient technique helps increase blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and promote healing by stimulating the body’s circulation and lymphatic system. Dry cupping is often used to relieve pain, improve mobility, and accelerate recovery from injuries or chronic conditions. Safe and relaxing, it can complement other therapies to enhance overall wellness and restore balance to the body.

Ancient Healing, Modern Relief

How Dry Cupping Therapy Works?

Dry cupping therapy involves placing specially designed cups on the skin and creating a vacuum by suction. This suction gently lifts and separates the skin and underlying tissues, increasing blood flow to the area. The improved circulation helps deliver oxygen and nutrients while flushing out toxins and waste products.

The negative pressure also stimulates the lymphatic system, reducing swelling and promoting faster healing. Additionally, the gentle stretch on muscles and fascia helps release tension, relieve pain, and improve mobility. By encouraging the body’s natural healing processes, dry cupping supports recovery from injuries and enhances overall wellness.

I came here specifically for shockwave therapy on a hamstring tendinopathy that wasn't budging. With the help of Mark and Abbi, and 4 treatments later, I'm managing to run again pain free! Thank you.

Mark was recommended to me by a friend who has been using him since he first started in practice. My first appointment with mark was painful but I have noticed a massive improvement in my arm mobility and also my pain and discomfort in my back pretty much gone. Mark was professional, explained clearly how he was going to treat my arm and back. He even warned me that I’d experience discomfort whilst he was treating me! He wasn’t wrong! I have a 2nd and 3rd treatment booked. 100% recommend. Thanks for getting me feeling back to normal so quickly! Wayne
Response from the owner:Hi Wayne, thank you for taking the time to leave such a great review and for the recommendation—it’s really appreciated. We’re pleased to hear you’ve already noticed such a big improvement in your arm mobility and that your back pain has settled so quickly. While treatment can sometimes be uncomfortable, it’s great that Mark was able to clearly explain the process and set expectations so you felt informed throughout. We look forward to seeing you at your upcoming appointments and continuing to support your recovery.

Mark has worked wonders on my frozen shoulder and knotted muscles. I was in so much pain that my daily routine had come to a halt. The deep tissue massage and focussed shockwave treatment along with all of the other stuff he does has loosened everything up. I now have full mobility in my shoulders and the pain has disappeared. I now go to MSK every month to keep myself supple and pain free. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending MSK to all my friends and family.
Response from the owner:Hi, we really appreciate you taking the time to leave us 5-stars. It's very much appreciated. Glad to hear you're feeling relief from the treatments. Best wishes, Team MSK

Been to see Abbi twice now with a torn meniscus. Abbi went through exactly how I caused the injury in great detail and performed massage on the surrounding area, cupping and shockwave therapy. Rest is required after shockwave and knee aches for a day or so afterwards but seems to be making a difference after only 2 visits. Also received an exercise plan. Hopefully keep improving over the next couple of weeks and won’t require MRI or operation. Worth the money.
Response from the owner:Hi Jason, thank you for your detailed review—we really appreciate you sharing your experience. It’s great to hear that Abbi has been able to clearly explain your injury and provide a structured treatment approach, including hands-on therapy and a tailored exercise plan. As you’ve mentioned, some post-treatment soreness can be expected after shockwave therapy, but it’s encouraging that you’re already noticing a difference after just a couple of sessions. We’re glad you feel the treatment has been worthwhile so far and look forward to supporting your continued progress over the coming weeks.

FAQs

Welcome to our FAQ section! Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a returning patient, we’ve compiled answers to the most common questions about our services.

Most people feel a gentle pulling or tight sensation during treatment, but it’s not typically painful. Some may experience mild soreness afterward, similar to a deep tissue massage.

Cupping can relieve:

Back, neck, and shoulder pain

Muscle tension and stiffness

Headaches and migraines

Sports injuries

Poor circulation and fatigue

Yes, when performed by a trained professional. It’s non-invasive and has very few side effects when appropriate hygiene and technique are followed.

The circular marks left by cupping are not bruises, but temporary discolorations caused by increased blood flow and the release of stagnant fluids in the tissue. These marks indicate areas where the suction has drawn blood closer to the surface to promote healing.

The color and duration of the marks can vary:

Light pink to deep red or purple, depending on the level of tension or stagnation in the area

Usually painless and fade within a few days to a week

These marks are a normal and expected part of the healing process and often lessen with regular treatments.

After a dry cupping therapy session, most people feel relaxed, lighter, and less tense, with noticeable relief from muscle tightness or pain. It’s common to experience a sense of calm or increased energy, as circulation improves and tension is released.

You may also notice:

Temporary circular marks or mild soreness in the treated areas

Looser movement and reduced stiffness

A feeling of detoxification or mild fatigue, as the body processes released toxins

These effects are completely normal and typically subside within 24–48 hours. Staying hydrated and allowing time to rest can help enhance your recovery and the overall benefits.

Dry cupping is generally safe when performed by a trained professional, but like any therapy, mild side effects can occur. These may include:

Temporary circular marks or skin discoloration (not bruises)

Mild soreness or tightness in the treated area

Lightheadedness or fatigue immediately after the session

Slight skin irritation or sensitivity

These side effects are typically mild and short-lived, fading within a few hours to a few days. Serious side effects are rare when proper hygiene and technique are followed.

If you have sensitive skin, a bleeding disorder, or are pregnant, always consult with your therapist before treatment to ensure cupping is right for you.
