Hijama Cupping Therapy in London at Zone Recovery
What Is Hijama Cupping?
Hijama, or cupping therapy, is a traditional practice used for centuries in various cultures to help support overall wellness. It involves the use of gentle suction cups applied to specific areas of the body.
While massage therapy uses direct pressure to release tension, cupping uses negative pressure to lift the muscle fibers and increase blood flow to the area.
How It Works:
- Dry Cupping: Cups are placed on the skin to create a light suction, which may help stimulate circulation and ease local tension.
- Wet Cupping (Hijama): This technique involves making small, superficial incisions after the initial suction, followed by a second application of the cups. This method is performed using sterile tools by trained professionals and is rooted in traditional healing approaches.
