Is Dry or Massage Cupping painful?

No, it is a non-invasive and generally painless therapy. You will feel a pulling sensation as the cups create suction, which most people find relaxing, similar to a deep-tissue massage.

How is this different from Blood Hijama?

The main difference is that Dry and Massage Cupping do not involve any incisions or blood removal. It is a non-invasive technique focused on lifting tissue, improving circulation, and relieving muscle tension.

Will Dry Cupping leave marks?

Yes, it is common to have circular marks, ranging from light pink to dark purple, depending on the level of stagnation in the area. These are a normal part of the process and typically fade within a week. They are not bruises and should not be painful to the touch.

Which one is better for me, Dry or Massage cupping?

This depends on your specific condition. Dry cupping is excellent for targeting specific points of pain or tension, while massage cupping is better for treating larger areas of muscle stiffness and promoting overall relaxation. Our specialist will recommend the best approach for you during your consultation.

What is Dry Cupping and Massage Cupping?

Dry Cupping Therapy involves placing smooth, specialized cups on the skin and using a vacuum effect. This suction gently pulls the skin, underlying fascia, and muscle tissue into the cup. When the cups are left stationary, they provide focused static tension release.

What is Therapeutic Massage Cupping?

Therapeutic Massage Cupping, often referred to as gliding cupping, utilizes the same suction cups but applies a lubricant (like massage oil) to the skin. Instead of leaving the cups fixed, the certified specialist slowly moves the suctioned cups across large areas of the muscle tissue. This technique acts like a reverse deep tissue massage, pulling the muscle up and separating tissue layers. This lifting action is uniquely effective at breaking up deep-seated fascial restrictions and sports-related muscle tightness that cause chronic pain.

The main purpose of both Dry and Massage Cupping is:

To release tension and tightness in muscles.
Promote blood flow to stagnant areas.
To aid lymphatic drainage and reduce inflammation.

Dry Cupping vs. Wet Cupping: Which is Right for You?

The difference between dry and wet cupping is critical. Dry Cupping is purely mechanical and relaxing, while Wet Cupping (Hijama) is for deep detoxification.
