Cupping Therapies

Cupping Therapy is an ancient healing technique that has been practiced for thousands of years in different cultures, from traditional Chinese medicine to Middle Eastern healing systems. It works by creating suction on the skin, which helps improve blood circulation, release muscle tension, and promote the body’s natural healing process.

There are different types of cupping, each offering unique benefits. Let’s understand them better:

Whether you’re dealing with back pain during pregnancy, recovering after childbirth, or facing issues like pelvic floor weakness, incontinence, or post-surgical discomfort, women’s health physiotherapy offers safe and effective solutions.

Treatments may include pelvic floor exercises, posture correction, core strengthening, and techniques to relieve pain and improve mobility. Beyond physical recovery, it also helps enhance overall quality of life, supporting women to feel stronger, healthier, and more in control of their bodies.

Fire Cupping

Fire cupping is the most traditional and widely recognized method. In this technique, a flame is briefly placed inside a glass cup to heat the air. Once the flame is removed, the therapist quickly places the cup on the skin. As the air cools, it creates a natural suction that gently pulls the skin upwards.

This method is known to:

Improve blood flow to specific areas
Reduce deep muscle tightness
Relieve stress and fatigue
Promote overall relaxation

Fire cupping is often chosen by people who feel drained, tense, or want to experience the authentic roots of cupping therapy.

Dry Cupping

Dry cupping uses suction cups (without fire) to stimulate the skin and underlying tissues. The cups may be made of glass, silicone, or plastic, and are applied using a pump to create suction.

Benefits of dry cupping include:

Relieving muscle stiffness and soreness
Supporting lymphatic drainage
Enhancing energy flow in the body
Easing chronic pain and tension

It’s a gentle technique that many people prefer for regular wellness sessions, as it is safe, relaxing, and non-invasive.

Wet Cupping ( Hijama)

Wet cupping, also known as Hijama, combines suction with a light therapeutic release. After creating suction on the skin, tiny, controlled incisions are made, and the cups are reapplied to draw out small amounts of blood.

This process is believed to remove “stagnant blood” and toxins, while stimulating the body’s natural healing responses.

People often turn to wet cupping for:

Detoxification
Boosting the immune system
Relief from migraines and chronic conditions
Restoring balance and vitality

It is usually performed by trained professionals under hygienic conditions for safety and effectiveness.
