Chinese Cupping Therapy
Chinese Cupping Therapy in Acton, West London
If you’re experiencing tight muscles, back tension, neck and shoulder tightness or muscular soreness after exercise, Chinese Cupping Therapy at ODNOVA Massage & Sports Therapy in Acton, West London can be used as part of a targeted approach to muscular tension and recovery.
Cupping uses controlled suction created by specialised cups placed on the skin. At ODNOVA, it can be used as a standalone treatment or combined with Sports Massage, Deep Tissue Massage and Trigger Point Therapy, depending on your individual needs.
What Is Chinese Cupping Therapy?
Chinese Cupping Therapy is a traditional technique in which cups are applied to selected areas of the body to create negative pressure and lift the skin and superficial tissues. At ODNOVA, silicone and plastic cups can be used depending on the area being treated and the purpose of the treatment.
Cupping may be applied statically to specific areas or incorporated into treatment using moving cupping techniques. Rather than following the same routine for every client, the location, intensity and duration of cupping are adapted according to your muscular tension, comfort and treatment goals.
What Can Cupping Therapy Help With?
Back & Lower Back Muscular Tension: Cupping can be used around areas of muscular tightness through the back and lower back, particularly when combined with massage and other soft tissue techniques.
Neck & Shoulder Tension: Desk work, prolonged sitting, training and repetitive activity can contribute to muscular tension around the shoulders and upper back. Cupping may be incorporated alongside massage when these areas feel particularly tight or restricted.
Trigger Points & Muscular Knots: Cupping can complement Deep Tissue Massage and Trigger Point Therapy when working with localised areas of muscular tension and tightness.
Sports & Exercise-Related Muscle Tightness: Training, repetitive movement and physical activity can leave muscles feeling tight, stiff or fatigued. Cupping may be incorporated into Sports Massage to support muscular recovery and complement hands-on soft tissue techniques.
Postural & Desk-Work Tension: Prolonged sitting and repetitive working positions can contribute to muscular tension through the upper back, shoulders and neck. Cupping can be combined with targeted massage techniques where appropriate.

Cupping Combined With Massage
One of the main advantages of cupping at ODNOVA is that it does not need to be used in isolation. Depending on your individual needs, your treatment may combine:
• Chinese Cupping Therapy
• Sports Massage
• Deep Tissue Massage
• Trigger Point Therapy
• Myofascial techniques
• Assisted stretching and mobility techniques
This allows treatment to be adapted according to the areas of muscular tension and your overall treatment goals.
What to Expect After Cupping
Cupping can leave temporary circular marks or skin discolouration in the areas where the cups have been applied. These marks are caused by the local effects of suction on superficial tissues and blood vessels and can remain visible for several days.
The intensity of cupping is adjusted according to your comfort, and the treatment will be discussed with you beforehand.

One treatment is, in most cases, insufficient because the source of the pain is in the deeper layers of the tissue. Therefore, a series of treatments is recommended to achieve the best results. Usually, the first few massages should take place every few days, and then you can increase the time intervals between sessions.
If you are interested in a real solution to a problem, and not just its temporary "healing", a series of massage sessions is the best solution for you:

Each massage is preceded by a consultation, during which you will be asked about your expectations: whether this is stress and anxiety reduction, from tight or painful muscles, an improvement on a recent injury, or simply relaxation. You will also be asked about any temporary or chronic health conditions, as this will help establish the areas that need to be concentrated on or avoided. All this is important so that the right type of massage is tailored to your treatment.

Depending on the massage, you will have the option to either lie on a table or sit in a chair for your massage.
Most massage techniques involve lying on a cushioned table as well pillows to support different areas of your body, If you choose a table massage, you will be left in the treatment room, so that you can undress to your level of comfort and get snug underneath the towel. You may also stay fully clothed if you prefer to. During the massage, the areas which are not being worked on in the given moment will be covered with a blanket to keep you comfortable and warm.
If you choose a chair massage, you won't need to remove your clothing.
During all types of massage, you will be asked if the pressure is right. Harder pressure is mostly applied in deep tissue massage as muscles tend to be extremely tense. Please feel free to communicate if at any point the pressure is too hard or too light, as every person is different.
Massages are carried out using aromatherapy oils or lotions to moisturise the skin. If you are allergic to any common ingredients of body oils or lotions, please advise beforehand.
A typical massage lasts about an hour, although sessions can range from 60 to 90 minutes.
After a massage, you will be left in the treatment room alone to relax for a few minutes and then get dressed. After the treatment, most people feel extremely relaxed and free from long-term aches, there is also a feeling of increased energy which may last for days afterward. If you have gone for a deep tissue massage, you may feel slightly tender to start with, but after your muscles get used to the relaxed state, you should feel much better.
Most people like to close their eyes and relax, but if you prefer to chat or have any questions to ask then feel free to ask them. It’s all about your relaxation and you should do whatever makes you feel most comfortable.
