Why get Cupped?

Cupping, also known as Hijama, is a healing modality practiced in many cultures. It is a safe, well recognized therapeutic method used for prevention and treatment of various ailments.

Cupping alleviates pain due to muscle tightness from sports injury and is especially useful in treating overused muscles and tendons caused by Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI). It can also facilitate the recovery of respiratory infections as it helps relax intricate breathing muscles.

Using glass cups with suction enables old blood to be released from muscles, allowing fresh plasma to carry nutrients to repair muscles. This alleviates blood and lymphatic stagnation, promoting detoxification. Cupping promotes mobility and range of motion.
