Hijama Dry Cupping / Massage Therapy

Dry cupping a is a process where cups are strategically placed on areas of the body and only the suction from the vacuum is applied also called dry cupping. Dry cupping is best for a general re-energization of the muscles which is why a lot of athletes and sporting professionals use it on a regular basis.

Dry Cupping involves placing a glass or plastic cup on the skin and sucking or vacuuming out the air within the cup. The cups may be used at rest or while moving, and the application period is generally between five and ten minutes.

The suction application of the cup first draws blood into a region. As a result, the affected tissue becomes saturated with new blood. This saturation can frequently create a circular imprint, like a hickey or bite mark. However, this normally goes away within a day or two and happens less often on consecutive treatments.

The vacuum effect frequently causes the body to respond to the treatment by inducing an inflammatory reaction, which is the body’s organic healing mechanism. To commence healing, the body produces substances such as blood cells, platelet and fibres at this period.
