Cupping Therapy in Edinburgh

Cupping is an ancient healing practice rooted in traditional medicine, known for its ability to release deep-seated tension and improve circulation. Warm suction cups are gently placed on the skin, creating a therapeutic lift that encourages energy flow and relieves tight muscles. This powerful yet calming treatment offers a unique path to relaxation, balance, and inner renewal.

At Touch Holistic Therapy, cupping therapy in Edinburgh is particularly loved by our sporty clients and those with very tight backs. It is also a wonderful complementary treatment to deep tissue massage, enhancing results by preparing the muscles and increasing blood flow.

Each session begins with manual therapy, where we gently assess the muscles, identify knots, and establish areas of concern. We then use silicone cups to awaken the muscles, stimulate circulation, and prepare the back for cupping therapy. The cups are then placed for 10–20 minutes, depending on your individual needs, allowing for a deeply restorative release.

More and more people are beginning to recognise the power of cupping, not only as a tool for easing muscle tension, but as a practice that supports recovery, circulation, and overall wellbeing.
