Release, Restore, Rejuvenate: Experience Cupping Therapy
Experience Ancient Healing with Modern Cupping Therapy in Geelong
Natural Pain Relief & Deep Tissue Healing through Traditional Cupping
Are you seeking relief from deep muscle tension, experiencing poor circulation, or dealing with chronic pain?
Many people struggle with these issues, often finding that conventional treatments only provide temporary relief.
At The Natural Path Collective, we offer specialised cupping therapy that combines traditional wisdom with modern therapeutic techniques.
We use this time-tested method to release muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote your body’s natural healing processes.
What is Cupping Therapy
Cupping is a therapeutic technique that uses specially designed cups to create a gentle suction on your skin. This ancient practice, now backed by modern research, helps:
- Release muscle tension and fascial adhesions
- Increase blood flow and promote healing
- Reduce inflammation and pain
- Support lymphatic drainage and detoxification
At The Natural Path Collective, we use both traditional and modern cupping techniques, including:
- Static cupping for focused treatment
- Dynamic, functional cupping for quicker release and broader muscle groups

Cupping FAQ
Most people find cupping comfortable and relaxing. You may feel a pulling sensation, but it shouldn’t be overly painful. If you are experiencing excessive pain, let your therapist know immediately.
Treatment frequency varies based on your needs. We’ll create a personalised treatment plan during your consultation.
Light exercise is fine, but we recommend avoiding intense workouts for 24-48 hours after remedial massage treatment, especially if inclusive of cups or needles.
