What is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping has its roots in ancient China, where it was first documented by Ge Hong (281–341 AD), a famous physician who declared, “Acupuncture and cupping, more than half of the ills cured.”
Today, cupping therapy is widely used in both Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and modern sports therapy.
Massage therapists are increasingly turning to this therapy to address:
Muscle pain
Fascial restrictions
Structural imbalances
General wellbeing
Save their hands

How Cupping Therapy Work?
A partial vacuum is created in glass cups placed on the skin using heat or suction. This process:
Stretches fascia and soft tissue
Increase ROM
Encourages localised healing
Improves circulation
For practitioners, it offers a unique way to enhance pain management, improve range of motion, and promote holistic wellness.

About Us
Welcome to London Soft Tissue Therapy! We are a Clinical & Remedial Soft Tissue rehab service located in London, South Norwood & Bromley. Our mission is to improve your day-to-day life by treating musculoskeletal dysfunction caused by lifestyle or injury.
We achieve this through the use of a variety of techniques, including Advanced Sports Massage, Osteopathic Articulation, Medical Acupuncture (also known as Dry Needling), Electro-Acupuncture, Stretching, Medical Cupping, and Kinesiology Taping.
We believe that regular “Sports Massage” is beneficial for athletes and individuals who want to stay on top form and injury-free. However, what if someone has an injury? With sports massage, they receive a deep massage and hope for the best.
At LSTT, we offer a comprehensive approach that addresses the root cause of the injury and provides a customised treatment plan tailored to the individual’s specific needs.
What is Soft Tissue Therapy?
Soft Tissue Therapy is the mobilisation and stretching to your connective tissue to treat minor and chronic injuries regardless of their cause. Our aim is to improve your physical well-being and prevent future injuries using advanced techniques such as massage and dry needling while also identifying the root cause of the injury.
Many people suffer from minor and chronic injuries that can impact their daily lives. However, Mainstream medicine may be effective for treating serious conditions but may not provide the best treatment for these types of injuries.
At London Soft Tissue Therapy, we offer Soft Tissue Therapy as a safe and effective way to help individuals with most minor and chronic injuries. Our approach is tailored to your specific needs and can improve your quality of life.
