Cupping and Gua Sha - Newbury and Thatcham


At my Newbury clinic, I offer Cupping Therapy and Gua Sha to support your health and well-being. These traditional Chinese medicine techniques are highly effective for relieving tension, improving circulation, and supporting the body’s natural healing processes.

What Are Cupping and Gua Sha?


Cupping Therapy uses gentle suction cups placed on the skin to encourage blood flow, release muscular tension, and promote detoxification. The suction effect lifts the soft tissue, helping to reduce tightness, ease pain, and stimulate recovery.

Gua Sha involves using a smooth-edged tool to apply light pressure across the skin in specific areas, which helps break down stagnation, improve circulation, and encourage lymphatic drainage. This ancient technique is particularly effective for reducing muscular pain and promoting a sense of overall well-being.

Conditions Cupping and Gua Sha May Help With:
• Muscular tension and stiffness
• Neck, shoulder, and back pain
• Headaches and migraines
• Fatigue and poor circulation
• Stress and anxiety-related tension
• Respiratory conditions such as cough and congestion
• Digestive discomfort and bloating

What to Expect During Your Cupping or Gua Sha Treatment in Thatcham and Newbury:


Your session will begin with a brief consultation to understand your current health, lifestyle, and areas of concern. I will tailor your treatment specifically to your needs, whether you’re seeking relief from muscular tightness, stress, or other health concerns.

Both cupping and Gua Sha treatments are generally relaxing, though you may experience some temporary redness or mild marking on the skin as circulation improves. Many people find these therapies deeply restorative, with benefits that accumulate over a series of treatments.

• New Patient Appointment: £44 (30 minutes)
