Why Cupping?
Cupping is a very effective form of treatment in which a special cup is attached to the body surface. The cups stick to the skin by means of suction, using heat or suction pumps.
Cupping influences underlying soft tissues, muscles and deeper internal structures. Cupping is typically applied on the shoulders, back, sacrum, hip, thigh, calves, and upper arms.
At momentum we use glass cups of varying sizes, and leave of the skin for between 5-10 minutes. Cupping procedures may leave light to dark red marks / bruising on the skin that disappear in 5 to 14 days.

Nicci totally put me
at ease.
“Having suffered with rotator cuff shoulder injury and a sore neck, I went to see Nicci for acupuncture and Tui Na treatment massage. She totally put me at ease as had never had either treatment before. Following a full consultation, I had several sessions which has improved my pain and mobility, so I can now play badminton again – I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nicci – a total professional!.”

I’m fixed - I now just go for a top up.
“I recently had treatment for both knee and back pain – which I’ve suffered with for years. A couple of sessions later i’m fixed. I now just go for a top up as and when required.”
— Mr C, Sherfield on Loddon
The next day the pain was almost gone.
“I went to see Nicci with severe lower back pain that was affecting my mobility and making it difficult to walk. Nicci completed a thorough history and examination before applying the needles. When I woke up the next day the pain was almost completely gone - the best my back has felt in years. I would highly recommend a session with Nicci if you suffer from back pain.”
