Dry vs Wet Cupping - What’s the Difference?

Cupping therapy is a fantastic tool for pain relief, muscle recovery, and improved circulation, but did you know we offer both dry and wet cupping here at SA Wellness Centre? Here’s a quick rundown on the difference:

🌿 Dry Cupping
This is the most used style in our myotherapy sessions. It uses suction cups on the skin to create a vacuum effect, helping increase blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and support healing. It’s non-invasive, relaxing, and can be included as part of a 30-minute standard myotherapy appointment.

🌿 Wet Cupping (Hijama)
Wet cupping involves making small, controlled incisions in the skin before applying the cups. This allows a small amount of blood to be drawn out, which can help remove stagnant blood and toxins from the area. It’s a more traditional method used for deeper detoxification and inflammation relief and is offered in a dedicated 60-minute session at the clinic.

Not sure which one is right for you? Just ask! Our team can guide you based on your goals and concerns.

📅 Book online or give us a call - your muscles will thank you! ❤️

🌱 Chiropractic Wellness Wednesday with Dr. Vicki 🦴

This Week’s Tip: Walk It Out - And Let Those Arms Swing!

Dr. Vicki, our amazing chiropractor, shares a simple but powerful wellness tip this week:

✨ Walk for at least 40 minutes a day and don’t forget to let your arms swing naturally!

Why is walking such a game-changer?
✅ Arm swinging engages your spine and shoulders
✅ Walking stimulates joint fluid, your body’s natural lubricant
✅ Improves posture, balance, and full-body mobility
✅ Reduces stiffness in hips and lower back

💡Pro Tip: As you walk, gently sway your body and turn your head side to side.

Take in your surroundings, let your eyes, neck, and spine move together. It’s incredibly beneficial for your nervous system and spinal alignment.

Bonus:
Walking in nature equals instant mood boost and spinal love 🌳🧘‍♀️ Your body was made to move, so take it for a mindful stroll today!

Have questions? Give us a call. We’re always happy to support your journey to better movement and health.

Struggling with inflammation, poor circulation, or swollen legs? Compression therapy could be exactly what your body needs.

It's a simple 30-minute session, but the benefits can make a real difference. Here’s what it helps with most:

1. Reduces inflammation and swelling
2. Boosts circulation and lymphatic drainage
3. Speeds up muscle recovery
4. Relieves tired, heavy legs
5. Supports healing after injury or surgery

Compression therapy is ideal for athletes, but it's not just for sporty types, it’s also great for anyone dealing with swelling, poor circulation, or general fatigue. Whether you're on your feet all day, stuck at a desk, recovering from an injury, or experiencing pregnancy-related swelling, this treatment can make a noticeable difference.

We offer compression therapy in the clinic and sessions run for 30 minutes in your own private room. Bring something to read, unwind, and let the compression boots do the work.

You can book any time during clinic hours. Just give the team a call, let us know what time suits you, and we’ll lock in your session.

We could not let this month of August go by without giving a big shoutout to Charné, our Practitioner of the Month! 💫

Charné might be one of the newest faces at SA Wellness, but is already making her mark by bringing her calm and kind energy into every space and treatment, the kind of presence that helps our clients feel safe, seen and in good hands ❤️

Don’t be fooled by how gentle she seems! Charné knows how to get into the deep stuff! The feedback has been amazing, especially from clients who are surprised (in the best way) by how technical and strong her massages are. If you’ve got tension that needs real attention (especially in the legs - her favourite!) She’s 100% your go-to.

She’s always learning, growing and showing up with the genuine care for the people she treats. We’re so lucky to have her. If you’ve had a treatment with Charné, you’ll know exactly what we mean!

Drop her some love or leave a review via the link in our bio 🌱✨

Thank you Charné for all that you do! ❤️
