Cupping & Lymphatic Drainage for Sports Recovery

Recovery is part of training

Whether you run, lift, climb, cycle or play a team sport, the work you put in pays off when your body has a chance to recover. Hands-on care between sessions can help ease tight, overworked muscles, support circulation and give your nervous system a chance to switch off.

People come to us for

• Tight, overworked muscles after training
• Stiff shoulders, back, hips and legs
• Heavy, tired legs
• Recovery around race days, events and busy training blocks
• Ongoing aches from repetitive movement

How we can help

Fire cupping

Cupping uses gentle suction to lift the tissue and draw circulation into tight areas, and many athletes find it helps muscles let go. Trace-Ace combines cupping with acupuncture, so your session can address both the tight spots and the bigger picture. About fire cupping

Brazilian lymphatic drainage

Heidy's rhythmic lymphatic technique, wood therapy and Celluma red light therapy can leave tired, heavy legs and an overworked body feeling lighter and more relaxed between training blocks. About lymphatic drainage

When to see your doctor or physiotherapist first

For a new injury with significant swelling or bruising, a pop or snap at the time of injury, trouble bearing weight, numbness or tingling, or pain that keeps getting worse, please see your doctor or physiotherapist first. We are happy to work alongside them.

These are complementary therapies. They work alongside, not instead of, care from your doctor. Please tell your practitioner about any diagnoses, medications or supplements, and whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
