Targeted cupping to release deep muscular tension, increase circulation and accelerate recovery — used alongside sports massage for fast, lasting results.

Cupping therapy in Colchester is a powerful addition to hands-on bodywork. By creating gentle suction over tight muscle and fascia, cupping lifts and decompresses tissue — the opposite of normal massage pressure — to reach restrictions that fingers and thumbs alone can struggle with.
Derek Lyons uses cupping as part of an integrated treatment approach, combining it with sports massage, deep tissue work and mobility advice. The result is faster relief from tightness, better circulation through stubborn areas, and quicker recovery for athletes and active adults across Essex.
Suitable for chronic back tension, tight shoulders, training recovery and stubborn knots — cupping is a proven, traditional technique used today by professional athletes worldwide.

Real Results in Colchester
Verified 5-star Google reviews from Colchester clients.
“I have been seeing Derek for nearly 5 years and he is without doubt the best physio, massage and bodywork specialist I have come across. Not only is he professional, but he has helped out some serious situations. Most notably when I severely injured my lower back in the gym. Derek made time to see me at short notice and quickly got me on a protocol to not only get back, but put together a comprehensive plan to avoid having further problems and address the root cause of my issues. I went from not being able to bend over or sleep at night to lifting heavy and increasing my performance. I now see him regularly to help maximise my performance and recovery. 10/10!!!!!”

“I have been visiting Derek for over a year. He is very knowledgable and also sorts out any pain or injuries I have incurred along the way. His techniques are second to none and focuses on connective muscle groups by massaging areas which are prone to injury through exercise or training. A must visit performance therapist.”
